This four-story addition includes a new cancer treatment center and larger emergency department along with a helicopter landing pad. Severud Associates took advantage of the 18-foot story height to utilize a vierendeel truss to transfer columns over the ambulance entrance to the emergency room. The upper floors were designed to support sensitive medical equipment.
