MEP/FP engineering for this healthcare fit-out supports exam rooms, offices, reception and waiting areas, and medication rooms, following a feasibility study and concept design. The design includes VRF HVAC with DOAS and energy recovery, LED lighting, a BAS for monitoring and control, and low-flow plumbing fixtures, supporting the consolidation of two facilities into a single expanded location.

Project Goals

A fitout of the Columbia Heights building combined two Children’s National locations (Adams Morgan and Shaw) into a facility in Columbia Heights. The relocation enabled Children’s National to expand their reach beyond their main campus.

Services

2RW conducted a feasibility study to evaluate existing conditions and develop a concept design for a healthcare fit-out, including exam rooms, offices, reception and waiting areas, and medication rooms. Following the study, 2RW provided MEP/FP design, including VRF HVAC systems with a dedicated outside air system and energy recovery ventilator, LED lighting, a building automation system for monitoring and energy control, and low-flow plumbing fixtures.

The project also included an extensive re-skinning of the building envelope with the complete removal and replacement of exterior doors, walls, and windows, along with a new 4,400 SF addition featuring an entrance canopy and a three-story space for reception, lobby, and waiting areas. The addition includes two elevators, a stairwell, and first-floor corridor connections to the new lobby. 2RW performed a detailed analysis, including utility bill review, documentation review, and development of an air handling unit zone-level energy model using TRANE TRACE 700, calibrated to actual utility data, along with supporting engineering calculations
