Overview
Surgical procedure activity in the University Hospital operating rooms has increased by 30 percent since 1995. The volume of instrumentation requiring sterilization has exceeded the capacity of the current processing facilities. To achieve improvements in space, equipment, and work process, an expansion of the central sterile supply area on level B2 of University Hospital is proposed. A renovation of approximately 16,000 gross square feet of space will consolidate surgical instrument processing, assembly, sterilization and storage operations.
