Penn Medicine - New Pavilion University of Pennsylvania Health System, Philadelphia.
Penn Medicine’s new Pavilion, one of the largest hospital projects being completed in the United States, for opening November 2021 after four and a half years of construction at the site.
The 17-story plus 5 subterranean levels x 650-foot-long new bronze-beacon in Philadelphia, at one and a half million square feet is a behemoth. The site includes 504 private patient rooms and 47 operating rooms.
Atlantic Coast built over 50 communications rooms to support all connectivity for the massive network supporting voice, data, distributed interior cellular equipment, audio visual systems for medical learning, patient communication, information, and entertainment systems. The work included more than 4000 feet of ladder runway within the secure distribution rooms, (430) cabinets and 1-ton capacity equipment racks, along with all grounding and bonding of all distribution room related infrastructure components throughout the hospital.
Atlantic Coast also furnished and installed a Corning Solution for all optical back bones along with a copper backbone cables. The cables facilitated the interconnection of the Telecommunication Distribution Rooms (TDRs) to two distinct Telecommunication Equipment Systems Rooms (TSERs), on the west end on the lower levels and on the east end at the upper levels. All TDRs accommodated the interconnection to other TDRs on each level to allow for diverse feeds to all rooms from two distinct and physically distant sources.
The installed backbone (over 10,000 strands of single mode optical fiber and 3200 pairs of category 3 copper) supports over 30,000 category 6A shielded station cables installed throughout the site as part of another contract that we did not perform. All fiber terminations, were performed utilizing Corning Splice On UPC and APC connectors.
Atlantic Coast’s on-site teams also provided planning, site logistics and installation of (504) patient room entertainment and medical information systems to include 75” Displays, all supporting electronics and HDMI connectivity for these Display. The 75-inch screen and smart board will help patients engage in their care and will allow patients to save, show, and send information to family and care providers. The patients also have controls at their fingertips for lighting, shades, temperature, and more, so they can personalize the room to their comfort level.
Additionally, we installed over 140 Caregility enhance patient monitoring systems that allow remote visual and audio communication between the patient and their care team for monitoring higher risk patients. We were among the first contractors on the site to complete our base bid requirements allowing the data systems to be live over 6 months in advance of the hospitals opening.

GROUNDS FOR SCULPTURE SCULTURE GARDENS & MUSEUM
Hamilton New Jersey
Atlantic Coast Communications has installed several miles of optical fiber at the Grounds for Sculpture to support an array of Technology enhancements at the museum. Atlantic Coast most recently provided design and installation support for the new Night Forms Exhibition. ACC worked with KLIP Collective, Thrasos Media and Oliver Communications Group to vision a new museum wide optical fiber ring that provided new optical connectivity and power availability to the heart of the museum park.
The project includes over 2 miles of directional bore conduits from a centralized headend location in the Motor Exhibit Building to 6 internal substation locations in the internal campus exhibit area. In tandem with the direction bores, over 2 miles of 48 strand single mode optical cable was installed to support the extended technology into the park. Each substation provided signal paths to either a theater production pole mounted projector display (13 of these total) or a mini station (18 of these total) which extends light and sound systems to support the video image being displayed at each unique art display on the campus.
The Night Forms project will officially kickoff its inaugural show on November 19th, 2021.
