Nashville Memorial Hospital Skyline Medical Center Nashville, Tennessee Healthcare Contract amount: $16,000,000 Start date: April 1999 Completion date: August 2000 The Skyline Medical Center is a complete replacement hospital for Nashville Memorial. The community medical facility was constructed on a flat surface after cutting a “wedge” in the hillside.Skyline Medical Center consists of two connected but separate facilities: the 396,500 square-foot hospital and the 200,000 square-foot medical office building. Each building is eight stories tall with an additional mechanical penthouse. The structure is steel frame on concrete composite slab, and the exterior is “Dryvit” and brick. A parking garage and heliport were also included in the project. Each facility has separate power and mechanical systems independent of the other. The hospital mechanical system consists of two 800-ton chillers with a 400-ton emergency reserve chiller and boilers rated at 400-HP each. A pair of custom 60,000-CFM air-handling units were installed at the penthouse level (9th floor) to serve the patient-tower. These custom units were designed to meet stringent noise level criteria.Ivey self-performed 90% of the $16 million mechanical (HVAC and plumbing) contract, which included the fuel oil storage and delivery system for emergency fuel to boilers and the emergency generator. Ivey’s workforce peaked at 160 co-workers, along with approximately 30 sub-contractor personnel working under Ivey supervision. Ivey completed the fast-track healthcare project working 240,414 manhours with one lost-time accident of only one lost day.
