Olive View UCLA Medical Center
Sylmar, CA

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Olive View-UCLA Medical Center is set at the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains in the northeast San Fernando Valley. The 377-bed hospital is one of six operated by the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services. It is a general acute care teaching hospital which serves more than one and one-half million residents of the San Fernando Valley and adjacent north Los Angeles County areas. Olive View-UCLA Medical Center is a teaching hospital which provides training programs for a variety of health care disciplines in association with several colleges and universities.


ACSI RESPONSIBILITIES:
ACSI was engaged by the County’s Project Manager to provide peer review and design assistance services regarding the planned project on low-voltage electronic systems including fire detection/alarm, voice/data communications, paging, nurse call, security access control, radio, medical systems infrastructure, mechanical and energy management systems. 

ACSI found that additional systems requirements investigation with the facility staff was needed to completely determine their needs with specific focus on interfacing with existing systems. In response, ACSI provided additional design criteria to the County for implementation by the project design team.

Subsequently, ACSI was engaged to provide comprehensive mechanical, electrical and low-voltage commissioning services.
