About Sinai
Hospital
Located in Baltimore, Sinai provides a broad array of high quality, cost effective
health and related services to the people of Greater Baltimore. Sinai Hospital
was
founded in 1866 as the Hebrew Hospital and Asylum, and has evolved into a Jewish-
sponsored health care organization providing care for all people. Central to
its role is the provision of undergraduate and graduate medical education and
educational programs to other health professional, employees, and the community
at large.
Their
Need
Sinai administrators were under time and cost pressures. A state government
grant had been won to provide increased ambulatory psychiatric care in the
Baltimore
area, but the grant had both a cost cap and a completion deadline. Additionally,
there were engineering problems that had to be overcome. Wear and
tear would be significant. Some 700 to 800 people daily could be expected to
come in for treatment. There were questions of security, as well. Also, the
records
area had to be located on the second floor that presented a challenge for
weight-load engineering.
The
Whitley
Solution
A conventional builder submitted a bid price well
above the grant limit, and the deadline was looming.
Sinai had recently acquire a different modular complex
so they requested a new bid and were pleased
that the modular price would be significantly under
their budget. |
