Project Spotlight: The Zayed Bloomberg Building Underwent a Major Upgrade for Next-Gen Healthcare

The Zayed Bloomberg Building, a cornerstone in healthcare, underwent a transformative upgrade focusing on security, modern patient care, and cutting-edge research. The project fortified security measures, adapted to contemporary medical practices, and optimized the patient experience by redefining the Emergency Department’s “entry sequence.” This overhaul empowers healthcare professionals with a modern workspace, not just patient centric. Crucially, the upgrade boosts research initiatives, contributing to medical advancements.

We partnered with SmithGroup on this venture to offer expertise in Telecommunications Cabling and security Systems. We designed a state-of-the-art technological system, ensuring a seamless blend of security, efficiency, and innovation.

As the Zayed Bloomberg Building has evolved to meet the demands of a dynamic healthcare landscape, this upgrade sets new standards in patient care, security, and medical research. We were honored to offer our Telecommunications Cabling Systems w/ Infrastructure and Access Control/Video Surveillance Systems w/ Infrastructure design services.

Project Spotlight: New Intergenerational Severn Community Center Grand Opening

A ribbon cutting on May 15, 2023 presented by Governor Moore, County Executive Steuart Pittman, Arundel Community Development Services (ACDS) Inc,. Anne Arundel County Department of Aging and Disabilities, and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Annapolis & Anne Arundel celebrated the opening of the new Intergenerational Severn Center.

The Community Center features a state-of-the-art Boys & Girls Club, which includes a full size gymnasium and Teen Club; a regional Senior Activity Center that will host educational programs, recreational activities, and classes in art, history, crafts, computer use, dance, and physical fitness. The facility also includes a flexible community space called “The Gathering Place” in honor of Glenda “Miss G” Gathers – the community advocate credited for the center’s initial idea. The project is the culmination of more than three decades of community advocacy.

Convergent provided telecommunications cabling systems, audiovisual system electronics and access control/video surveillance systems design services. Spaces that benefit from the audiovisual systems design include Activity Spaces, Classrooms, Lobbies, Game Room, Teen Center, Meeting Rooms, Computer/Tech Room and the Gymnasium. The building includes integrated displays for digital signage applications. Public Display locations include the main entrance, lounges, and hallways. Each display can be remotely controllable via a building-wide management system. This system allows for the remote implementation of content to each individual display or group of displays. Staff are able to advertise for events, display the day’s schedule or distribute other content.

It was a privilege to work on this project with Murphy & Dittenhafer Architects.

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.
