Honeywell has been awarded an $11.9 million contract with the University of Kentucky to install integrated technology systems for the new Albert B. Chandler Hospital at the school’s medical campus in Lexington, Ky. The project will use the latest building technologies to meet environmental, security and regulatory requirements critical to the healthcare industry.
Honeywell was selected by a university evaluation committee to manage the integrated technology project, which includes building automation, lighting, fire alarm, security, nurse call and telecommunication systems. The 1.2-million- square-foot patient care facility, which includes capacity for more than 480 beds, will replace the university’s existing hospital and provide diagnostic, treatment and emergency care as the only Level One trauma center in the region.
As part of the contract, Honeywell will help build the hospital’s telecommunications and information technology (IT) infrastructure. The company will also install and integrate several building control systems including heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC), fire alarm, and access control and digital video equipment.
