Yale New Haven Hospital Adams Neuroscience Center
Location: New Haven, Connecticut
Completion Date: 2026
Sales Rep: Mechanical Solutions, Inc.
Griswold Controls Products Used: Coil Piping Package including Isolator R Valve
Description:
What started in 1826 as the fourth voluntary hospital in the U.S. is now a nationally recognized not-for-profit part of New Haven, Connecticut. The Adams Neuroscience Center will be a 505,000 square foot part of the Saint Raphael Campus and carefully designed to maintain existing standards of excellence in the Yale New Haven Health system. Cutting-edge treatments and research in neurological disorders will be at the forefront of this new neurological center. The expansion underscores Yale New Haven Hospital’s commitment to providing top-tier medical care and fostering innovation in neuroscience. Not only that, but maintaining the Magnet designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center, the nation’s highest honor of nursing excellence will be essential to the success of the Adams Neuroscience Center.
These standards exist across the Yale New Haven Hospital, which is comprised of New Haven-based campuses, and includes Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital, Yale New Haven Psychiatric Hospital and Smilow Cancer Hospital.
This new project is sure to have a positive impact on the community in New Haven. One way this will happen is through the partnership with Yale University and the CHIRAL program. New Haven Hospital and Yale University have implemented this program that includes various initiatives like improving patient safety and healthcare delivery through multidisciplinary research and innovation.
These partnerships provide Yale students with valuable hands-on experience and contribute to improving healthcare services in the region.
Challenges and Solutions:
Ensuring optimal comfort and functionality for patients and staff in the new neuroscience facility posed significant challenges. The facility’s complex HVAC requirements demanded precise control and reliability. Mechanical Solutions, Inc. addressed these challenges by supplying Griswold Controls’ Coil Piping Packages. These pre-assembled systems streamline installation and reduce costs, featuring over 900 standard configurations for easy integration. The Isolator R Valves included in these packages are equipped with a stainless steel flow control cartridge, which dynamically absorbs pressure fluctuations, simplifying the balancing process and enhancing valve performance.
This approach has been successfully implemented in other projects, such as the Lowell Elementary School and Douthit Hills, where the Isolator R Valves played a crucial role in maintaining system balance and efficiency.
Benefits and Outcomes:
The integration of Griswold Controls’ high-quality components into the Yale New Haven Hospital Adams Neuroscience Center ensures efficient operation and contributes to the hospital’s goal of delivering exceptional patient care. This project exemplifies the successful collaboration between Yale New Haven Hospital, Mechanical Solutions, Inc., and Griswold Controls, setting a new standard for healthcare facilities.
Products Used:
The Yale New Haven Hospital Neuroscience Center utilized Griswold Controls Coil Piping Packages, which simplify installation and ensure system integrity. These packages include all necessary components for a complete coil connection, facilitating on-site assembly. The Isolator R Valves were selected for their precision and reliability, featuring easily accessible flow control cartridges for flow measurement and adjustments.
