The Lab Automation project was a multi-phased renovation of University of Alabama Birmingham Hospital’s core laboratory and processing center. The main focus of the project was to renovate the existing space to install a new automated Beckman Coulter laboratory line. The installation of the automated line increased productivity and intake ability of the hospital lab. The project included new mechanical and electrical systems, upgrades to the fire alarm and plumbing systems, architectural reconfiguration including new offices and storage spaces, and a partner project to upgrade infrastructure including a new air handling unit, emergency power upgrades, and expansion of the pneumatic tube stations.
