Market: Healthcare

Medical and lifecare facilities require engineering design that meets technical and lifestyle requirements - as well as strict government regulations for safety and function.

Hospitals/Clinics

Medical facilities present special engineering challenges, including load factors from diagnostic equipment, specific piping design for medical gases, and the critical importance of ADA requirements. BIA's experience with medical facilities includes extensive work with KidsPeace, a full-service medical facility for young people, as well as the medical center campuses of Montgomery Hospital in Norristown, PA; Frankford Hospital in Philadelphia, PA and the St. Luke's system in Allentown, Quakertown, and Bethlehem, PA.

Life Care

As the Baby Boom generation moves through its retirement years, demand is accelerating for facilities to provide phased care appropriate to residents' social and medical needs. BIA has worked on all types of facilities—from single ranch-style houses and assisted living to full-service nursing homes—whether for new campus planning or to maintain and expand existing facilities.
