How do we manage AHCA reviews?
• Establish clear project schedules with appropriate time accounted for AHCA reviews during the Schematic Design (Stage I), Design Development (Stage II), and Construction Document (Stage III) phases (as required).
• Assist hospital leadership with the development of functional programs for AHCA review and approval.
• Submit and track AHCA submittals.

Sustainability
One of the Core Values at Gurrimatute is Environment. We design with the environment in mind and apply Green Design Concepts whether or not the project will be certified by a third party agency.
Sustainable design objectives can be met by implementing both passive and active systems. We always look for ways to increase passive systems including reviewing a building’s site orientation for ways to increase prevailing winds, the creation of shady outdoor areas for students, increasing natural light and views and overactive systems. We provide you with viable options to meet your sustainable goals and objectives, and if so desired, we have in-house LEED AP design professionals, certified with the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) to design any project to be third party certified.
Overall, Gurrimatute is very experienced with the LEED process, including:
• Registering projects with USGBC, utilizing the current V4.1 rating systems
• Completing online templates
• Coordinating reviews with the USGBC
• Providing enhanced commissioning services

Project Experience
Building Information
Modeling (BIM)
We firmly believe in integrating technology into our design process not only as a tool to communicate more effectively with our clients, but also as a means to reduce unnecessary change orders during construction caused by clashing building systems.
Gurrimatute uses Autodesk Revit, a building information modeling program that provides added features and benefit to our clients by allowing us to perform Clash Detection on our 3-D models to identify any conflicts between structural beams, mechanical systems and any other building systems before the project goes into construction.
All of our design professionals are highly proficient with this program and can take any space and create a view for the owner to have a view of the entire space. The program enables the design staff to apply finishes and lighting for photo-realistic images of the projects.

Visualize
Generate photorealistic renderings. Create documentation with cut-aways and 3D view, and stereo panoramas to extend your design to virtual reality.
Analyze
Optimize building performance early in the design process, run cost estimates, and monitor performance changes over the project’s and building’s lifetime.
Coordinate
Since Revit is a multi-discipline BIM platform, we can share model data with engineers and contractors within Revit reducing coordination tasks.

Cleveland Clinic Martin Medical Center
North Laboratory Renovation & Addition
Stuart, Florida
The scope of the project included the design for the addition of a new laboratory, clinical engineering, bulk storage building, and the backfill of several spaces. The project involved demolishing an existing metal building and creating a new 4,800 sf building on the existing site, with an additional 4,000 sf of renovation space. The new laboratory spaces consists of new and expanded hematology (130 sf), new coagulation (270 sf), new expanded chemistry (380 sf), urine testing (275 sf), new blood bank (700 sf), and general processing/ microbiology (1,050 sf) laboratories.
The project also required connection to the facilities pneumatic tube system to tie into the adjacent OR Suites and bed tower for delivery of specimens to the lab. Expanded histology (800 sf), cytology (250 sf) are located adjacent to the new laboratory building and share all support services. Common staff spaces like, conference room, locker rooms, changing facilities, and lounge are also new.
The project also involved the relocation and expansion of the clinical engineering department (4,000 sf). This area includes areas for bed repairs, medical gas system maintenance, and bulk storage of laboratory and clinical supplies.
Phasing has been carefully coordinated with laboratory staff and hospital administration to minimize the impact of construction. The design was planned to maintain full hospital operations during construction.
