Hopkins Tow Line

The 22 bay loading dock was built in 2007 to accommodate chemical, supplies, linen, and equipment deliveries. The only downside to the overwhelming capacity was the quarter mile distance between the dock and the main hospital. A tunnel was built to run between the two, facilitating the transfer of goods by attaching loaded mechanized carts to a chain in the floor. 82 carts are exchanged per day.

In 2011, a 30,000 square foot kitchen began to depend on the towline, which now stretched two miles underground and reached an approximate capacity of 2,000 carts per day.

UMB Research Buildings

The HMS and ASG team toured three facilities at the University of Maryland in Baltimore. The Bressler Research Building was completed in 1976 and sits 14 floors above ground. In the early 2000's, the laboratory building was given major upgrading of infrastructure and modernization of lab space in order to attract new researchers. HLM Design, Design Collective, and BKM helped to phase the occupied renovation fo 40,000 square feet over two floors. Each 20,000 square foot floor was renovated into cancer research space complete with two environmental rooms, autoclave and sterilizer facilities, two dark rooms, five large open laboratory spaces, and specialized laboratories. Additional support spaces include a conference/library room, offices, storage, electron microscopy room, telecommunication/computer room, and two high-density major equipment areas to support the laboratory initiatives. BKM provided m/e/p design services.
