Through the addition of 25 new treatment bays, Henry Ford Hospital now has space to accommodate 80 to 100 emergency room patients per day. Hospital staff can better care for patients and also be respectful of their privacy within a more efficient patient flow. The expansion increased bed capacity, reconfigured the nurses' monitoring stations, and improved the walk-in entrance, registration and patient waiting areas. It was not a simple building addition. The project was built in a small courtyard flanked on all sides by six stories of the existing hospital housing patient beds, surgery and the existing ER. Access was restricted to one point immediately adjacent to the ER entrance requiring continuous coordination with the Hospital. Underground site conditions were unknown since existing utilities dated back 100 years and there were no accurate as-built drawings. During excavation, prior to placing foundations (which DeMaria assisted in the design of), the State Inspector commented that no other Construction Manager could have completed this as successfully as DeMaria did. The Department of Emergency Medicine remained operational during construction and was completed in five (5) phases. Included in these phases were the renovation of existing areas within the DEM.

DeMaria recently completed the OR Surgery Expansion for Henry Ford Health System. The project involved the renovation of the 4th floor of the Eleanor Clara Ford Pavilion, OR Surgery Unit located on the downtown Detroit Campus. The scope of the renovation involved the build out of three (3) new ORs in existing shell space on the fourth floor of the ECFP and build out a third OR outside the current shell space. This work involved also renovating several areas within the current active OR suite. Challenges: Extensive coordination with the OR and Hospital staff required to assure that normal daily operations were not disrupted in any way All materials needed to be pre-scheduled and coordinated in advance Rerouting the existing utilities currently feeding the West Clinic fifth and sixth floors, which required a team approach with a deep understanding of the proper processes and coordination ability that is necessary for a utility system relocation of this magnitude

The I-2 Dialysis Renovation project consisted of a complete demolition phase- down to the existing concrete structure, and a total rebuild phase of the space to a state-of-the-art dialysis treatment facility. The existing utility infrastructure had to be upgraded as well to accommodate the demands of the proposed I-2 Dialysis department along with the future growth of the existing building itself. A new 25,000 CFM AHU was strategically installed in a lower level interior mechanical space, which was designed to support not only the new I-2 Dialysis wing, but also several other occupied areas throughout the building. In addition to this new mechanical system, a dialysis treatment system was installed to process and handle the additional patient care load that was being planned for by the hospital. A new power system was also installed throughout six floors of the occupied building, ultimately upgrading the entire facility to today's standards of normal and emergency power requirements. The project required around the clock coordination with subcontractors, owners, and hospital staff in order to minimize the overall impact of the renovation and utility upgrades throughout the occupied facility. Not only was the existing dialysis department deeply involved with the project, but the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 6th floor departments were also immensely involved to minimize the impact of construction during the renovation of the building.

DeMaria completed a new state-of-the-art intraoperative MRI (iMRI) project that is the first of it's kind in Michigan. It is located directly in the center of the OR Department, surrounded by various active OR's, and will be utilized in conjunction with a neurology OR to perform groundbreaking procedures. In 2008, Henry Ford approached DeMaria with a challenge of how to install a new 1.5T MRI on the fourth floor. This challenge was unique because there were no possible options of delivering the MRI through the Hospital's elevator and corridor system. In response, DeMaria developed a plan that not only utilized a unique roof opening for the installment, but also incorporated new space for an additional OR. The iMRI was designed to an OR standard and includes custom OR ceilings, floors, and wall finishes— which, when combined with an MRI, generates a great amount of noise level. The IMEDCO silent shield design and room shielding system helped reduce the noise level tremendously. In addition to addressing the noise, the room's mechanical and electrical requirements for the iMRI was upgraded, requiring a dedicated circuit, fed from the basement of the hospital. Maximum coordination efforts and adherence to infectious control policies were extremely critical during this project.

DeMaria completed the Family Medical Center of Michigan Addition and Expansion project, which included an addition of a new, two-story building, along with renovating 7,000 square feet of the existing facility. The new 18,000 square foot building consists of 25 new patient exam rooms with appropriate clinical back up area, administration space, and dental space. The new building incorporated a geothermal system for heating and cooling.  Water is run through the 9,600 lineal feet of tubing underneath the ground to the building through a pipe manifold in the mechanical room. Once the water is inside the building, it is distributed throughout the structure through a tubing system to one of the 22 heat pumps located in strategic spots above the ceilings. Depending on whether the occupants of the building choose heating or cooling, the heat pumps will either remove heat from the air and transfer it to the water in the tubing system to cool the building, or it will remove the cool air from the building and transfer it to the water in the tubing to add heat to the building. The additional cost of the geothermal portion of the project is expected to pay itself off in five to seven years— at which time the Owner will have no heating or cooling bills to pay.

DeMaria has transformed the 2nd floor of the Old Education Building into the Henry Ford Hospital Innovation Institute - a unique meeting space where bright minds representing various disciplines can be brought together to envision the future of medicine. Originally an auditorium, the space served as a gymnasium in more recent years. The open floor plan lends itself well to the unique type of meeting space developed by the project team, which includes a transparent “think tank” near the center of the room. Support spaces, including small meeting areas with a variety of configurations to support different ways of thinking, can also be found on the main floor. The existing stage and balcony areas were refinished and are now utilized in the new meeting space. The project team was striving to create a “wow factor” that can serve as inspiration for everyone who enters the space. Much of this was achieved by the majestic architecture of the 1920s structure itself, which features a grand staircase leading to the 2nd floor. The entire space was restored and complemented with more contemporary design elements that bestows a timeless quality of the finished product. One of the project's highlights is a new wood-ribbed ceiling that exposes some of the structure of the original barrel vault.

DeMaria transformed the entire original VA medical tower built in 1950 into a modern, 21st century treatment and diagnostic center. All floors were occupied. Phasing, worksite cleanliness and segregating the building from occupants was critical. Demolition was completed using bobcats and hydraulic breakers with scrubbers on the exhausts. Much pre-planning and tracing out of all utilities was put forth in order to keep uninterrupted service to the basement and 8th and 9th floors which could not experience power shutdown during construction. DeMaria partnered with a consultant to decommission fume hoods and associated ductwork due to the presence of toxic chemicals used within the lab. The ductwork had been determined to be volatile and could explode during demolition and removal. This work was accomplished during off hours to minimize risk. Upgrading the ventilation, HVAC, and electrical systems were also a large part of the scope. The 4th floor was transformed into a mechanical and electrical floor with modern plumbing, HVAC equipment, AHU’s, power, and fire protection service to feed the newly renovated floors. New fire rated shafts were also installed to feed the floors above and below.
