TRITEC completes 17,684 s/f expansion and renovation at North Suffolk Cardiology Medical

East Setauket, NY North Suffolk Cardiology undertook a significant expansion and renovation project at its office located at 45 Research Way. The project included many challenges, and TRITEC Building Company employed many solutions to complete the renovation in an occupied building successfully.

North Suffolk Cardiology, a practice of Stony Brook Medicine Community Medical Group, is the largest cardiology practice on the North Shore of Long Island.

The expansion and renovation of 17,684 s/f of North Suffolk Cardiology’s medical space was a multifaceted project designed to enhance patient care and accommodate advanced medical technologies. The project included the construction of several specialized rooms, including a PET/CT scanner, cardiac rehabilitation facilities, patient consultation areas, and staff offices.

The renovation took place across three separate office suites, one occupied, forcing the team to execute the construction in a fully operational medical facility with minimal disruption to daily operations and patient care. TRITEC assistant project manager Tom Nagel shared his insights, stating, “Transforming a medical facility while ensuring uninterrupted services presented unique challenges. We thank the dedication of our team and collaborative efforts with North Suffolk Cardiology that allowed us to overcome these challenges and deliver a class A medical space that will allow the practice to offer an enhanced patient experience.”

The PET/CT scanner replaced an older PET machine in the lower level of the building. The GE Omni PET/CT, a new model with the latest features and technology, was the first of its kind installed on Long Island. Installation required precise construction techniques to ensure compatibility with sensitive medical equipment and challenges associated with getting the equipment into the building. Close collaboration between the construction team, North Suffolk Cardiology staff, and equipment manufacturers ensured that all aspects of the project were seamlessly integrated.

The project was successfully completed within the stipulated timeline, with minimal impact on the daily operations of North Suffolk Cardiology. “We appreciate TRITEC’s expertise in making our expansion possible while maintaining daily operations at our cardiology practice,” said Jennifer Crema, executive director of Stony Brook Medicine Community Medical Group. “Our physicians and staff love the updated space as well as all our patients.” The newly renovated office space now boasts advanced facilities, including a cutting-edge PET/CT suite, offering an enhanced patient and staff experience. The North Suffolk Cardiology office expansion and renovation project is a testament to the effectiveness of strategic planning, innovative construction techniques, and collaborative effort in transforming healthcare spaces.
