Scope Of Work

The - SFCC project involves the  and  of a 22,500 sf family medical care facility located at Ft. Drum, NY.  The stand-alone facility is a single story  with a structural steel frame, light gauge  stud exterior wall framing, masonry facade and a combination of standing seam  and low sloped membrane roof systems. The project includes complete site development and  of a new asphalt access driveway and parking lot area. The facility includes patient waiting and screening areas, exam rooms, x-ray, pharmacy, records areas, patient consultation rooms, staff support areas and mechanical/electrical rooms.

The   incorporates large fenestration areas in the waiting area to offer generous daylight and exterior view while patients are waiting for their appointment. The exterior walls are provided with large windows to provide daylight and outside awareness into the occupied clinic areas. SAI provided an innovative approach to simulating daylight in the interior spaces through the use of “virtual skylights”. These simulated skylights utilize ceiling light fixtures and a photorealistic backlit display to simulate natural light and sky scenes. These provide a cost-effective means of providing simulated natural light to areas where windows are not accessible and roof skylights are prohibited.
