Modernizing legacy systems for greater efficiencies 

Kings County Hospital’s aging infrastructure, constant occupancy and limited shutdown windows made traditional upgrades difficult. To reduce energy use and modernize systems, NYC Health + Hospitals turned to CDM Smith to design and manage a $12.4M efficiency program for long-term sustainability. 

Upgrading critical building systems

CDM Smith designed lighting, heating, ventilation and window system upgrades across multiple hospital buildings. 

Managing complex construction phasing 

Work was coordinated around occupied rooms, seasonal shutdowns and 24/7 operations to keep services uninterrupted. 

Strengthening stakeholder coordination 

Daily communication with stakeholders and facility users ensured smooth scheduling and minimized operational impacts.

Controlling costs with CMAR delivery 

In-house estimates, change management and bid reviews kept the project under budget and aligned with program goals. 

Completed a month ahead of schedule and under budget, the project delivered an estimated $1.5M in annual savings while improving comfort and reliability for staff and patients. CDM Smith replaced 650 windows, upgraded more than a thousand light fixtures and coordinated night and weekend shutdowns to keep hospital functions running.
