TRC is providing structural and mechanical engineering services for Our Lady of LourdesHospital located in Lafayette, Louisiana. This project is a new replacement hospital designed toaccommodate the addition of the medical office building. The hospital will be a six level facilitytotaling 378,000 GSF with an additional 16,000 GSF Central Energy Plant. The EmergencyRoom Entrance will be elevated from grade to serve as the roof of the Central Energy Plant.

We are utilizing Early Steel Detailing to produce the structural steel shop drawings. Steeldetailing will begin at the design development level of the construction document process usingthe structural RAM model developed by the structural engineer. Steel shop drawings should bereleased for fabrication approximately one month after the structural steel shell package isreleased.
