UPMC - Clinical Lab Building
Massaro Corporation was selected to renovate the building previously know as the John J. Rangos Sr. Research building located at 3460 Fifth Avenue. (The new John J. Rangos Sr. Research Center was relocated to Children's Hospital in Lawrenceville.) The transformation of the existing structure includes interior demolition, of nine floors and the rebuilding of laboratory and administrative support space to provide lab services for all of the Oakland hospitals and physician offices.
The goal for this building was to become the central hub for all laboratory tests. Each healthcare facility will send lab work via underground tubing to the Clinical Lab Building for processing.
In order to begin the process, new infrastructure and underground pneumatic tubing was installed. This included night shift work on Forbes Avenue, Fifth Avenue and Halket Street.The renovation included a complete "gut" of floors 5 - 9 and selective demolition of floors 1 - 4 and the mechanical penthouse.
Architectural improvements and new finishes were provided to the new and renovated spaces and support spaces. Other building upgrades include long-term maintenance needs, and building code driven improvements for the new home of all clinical testing services for the UPMC Oakland campus.
