The Penn Medicine Princeton Cancer Center is a 200,000 square foot cancer center and imaging center, as well as a 300,000 square foot parking structure in Plainsboro Township, NJ. The new Cancer Center was designed as a 4-story & 1-Story mechanical space for primary cancer treatment and imaging for both in patients and outpatients. The main building consists of exam rooms, treatment rooms, CT-Imaging Suites, MRI Rooms, LINAC Treatment Suites, Ambulatory Area, as well as administrative, dining, and support services.
The project included relocation of existing central utility plant duct banks, which provided electrical power, heated and chilled water to the Cancer Center. The Cancer Center was built under the Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) approach, which brings together the client, designer, and builder to align stakeholders and streamline the execution of the project.
Hatzel & Buehler began the preconstruction process as an IPD Trade Partner for the electrical contract for the Site, Central Utility Plant, Core & Shell, and Fit-out phases of the project. The overall scope of work included providing a complete electrical distribution system for the entire infrastructure, utility duct banks, indoor medium voltage switchgear, indoor unit substations, automatic transfer switches, site lighting, lightning protection, communications duct banks, LED lighting systems, lighting control systems, power wiring, operating rooms, special procedure rooms, installation of medical equipment, communications infrastructure, cable tray, fire alarm systems, and power distribution to HVAC equipment, located throughout the building.
