Project Spotlight: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Hospital Grand Opening

The Ruth Bader Ginsburg Hospital in Brooklyn, NY, the first public hospital to open in the city in 40 years, had its grand opening on May 2nd, 2023.

Coney Island Hospital suffered extensive flood damage due to Superstorm Sandy in 2012. Southern Brooklyn’s only major medical center’s critical services were off-line for months following. With a $923 million grant from FEMA, Coney Island Hospital is slated to construct a new, resilient building, as well as a planned 1,720-foot flood wall, to house life saving services for over 900,000 South Brooklyn residents.
The 350,000 square-foot tower will include a new elevated Emergency Department, a surgical suite with eight operating rooms, a full-suite of diagnostic and imaging services, including CT scanner, MRI, and interventional radiology, a labor-and-delivery suite, 64 behavioral health beds, and a clinical laboratory equipped with the latest technology.

Convergent Technologies designed all of the low voltage systems including Telecommunications Cabling Systems with Infrastructure, Audiovisual Systems (Infrastructure Only), and Access Control/Video Surveillance Systems with Infrastructure.

It was a joy to work on this project with BR+A Consulting Engineers.
