Ask the Engineer: Engineering Resiliency at Brigham & Women's Faulkner Hospital Inpatient Tower
Every engineering decision serves a purpose, especially in healthcare environments where reliability, safety, and operational continuity are critical.
We're taking a closer look at the engineering behind the new Inpatient Tower at Brigham & Women's Faulkner Hospital. In this installment of Ask the Engineer, members of the project team share insights into several key design decisions that helped enhance the facility's resiliency, electrical reliability, and fire protection systems.
From locating electrical rooms in the penthouse to implementing multiple layers of electrical redundancy and integrating a new fire pump into an active hospital campus, the project required thoughtful planning and close coordination to support both current operations and future needs.
Watch the video below to learn how the design team approached these challenges and delivered infrastructure solutions that help keep critical healthcare services running when they matter most.
