Corry Memorial Hospital

Located on a 42-acre site in the northeast outer portion of Corry, PA, the Corry Memorial Hospital project consists of a 73,256 square foot single-story building divided into two separate structures with a two-hour concrete block firewall.  Each structure consists of steel column and beam/joist construction.  The building will consist of Type IIB construction and will be an I-2 occupancy throughout.  It will have 20 patient bedrooms, surgery suite, ER suite with an ambulance drop-off and helipad, imaging suite with a mobile MRI, outpatient suites, kitchen and other support functions.

The exterior of the building will consist of brick and EIFS over a 6” steel stud non-bearing wall, with curtain wall and metal panels at the main entry, clerestory and main entry canopy.  There will be substantial earthwork required to prepare the site for the new building, two parking lots, connecting drives, helipad, and retention pond.  The mechanical system consists of a natural gas, fuel oil backup hot water boiler system supplying four rooftop air handlers with built-in cooling units, and a V.A.V. system within the building.  The electrical system will include an emergency generator providing full building backup.

The project is funded in part by the United States Department of Agriculture, and in part from two grants; Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP), and the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare.  It is scheduled to be completed 18 months after construction commences in early 2011.
