Albuquerque, New Mexico 
The level 1 trauma center of the University of New Mexico Hospital underwent a major expansion for this project. Opened in April 2007, a total of 210 beds were replaced and the addition of 70 new licensed beds was made. 

The new emergency center was expanded to include separate areas for pediatrics, fast track, observation and trauma. The expansion also included dedicated imaging space for MRI, CT and other modalities.  The critical care pavilion included adult neuro, medical, surgical and trauma/burn ICUs, as well as a full complement of pediatrics and women’s services including a pediatric surgery unit, OB triage, labor and delivery, postpartum and neonatal intensive care units. 

Equipment Collaborative managed the architecturally significant equipment procurement and placement for the project. Our team also facilitated product selections and confirmed reuse and capital-funded equipment to utilize limited state funds.  Our analysis reduced the budget by $10 million — eliminating extra equipment, maximizing reuse of existing assets and preparing competitive bid packages. Our services included managing the move and maintaining continuity of care over the four-day move.
