Debra H. and Robert J. Patrick Neuroscience Center

YKH Consulting, LLC provided specialized mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering services for the design of a new 132,600-square-foot, five-story Neuroscience Center. This cutting-edge facility consolidates more than 20 existing neurological and psychological centers into a single, state-of-the-art location, offering a comprehensive approach to early-onset dementia treatment, rehabilitation, and integrative services programs.
The HVAC system was designed to provide precise climate control and superior air quality, essential for patient care areas, rehabilitation spaces, and research facilities. Special attention was given to noise reduction and air filtration to enhance patient well-being and meet stringent healthcare standards. The electrical design included a robust power distribution network to support medical equipment, specialized lighting solutions for therapy and examination rooms, and a reliable backup power system to maintain uninterrupted operations. Additionally, the plumbing infrastructure was carefully engineered to accommodate medical gas distribution, water-efficient fixtures, and specialized drainage systems for rehabilitation and research spaces. Through these advanced MEP solutions,
YYKH Consulting worked closely with the project team to develop highly efficient MEP systems tailored to the unique needs of neuroscience care, ensuring an environment that prioritizes patient comfort, safety, and advanced medical functionality.
