This project involved the full renovation and equipment upgrade of Operating Room #4 to support advanced surgical technology and improve functionality for clinical staff. The scope included the replacement of existing surgical equipment with a new Philips Azurion 7 C20 FlexArm system, providing state-of-the-art imaging capabilities. In addition, four new monitor and light booms supplied by Stryker were installed to enhance flexibility and workflow efficiency.

Above the ceiling, the existing Unistrut support system was removed and replaced to accommodate the new equipment and infrastructure. Interior improvements included installation of energy-efficient LED lighting, new perforated laminar diffusers to optimize airflow and maintain a sterile environment, as well as upgraded finishes, such as seamless linoleum sheet flooring, protective vinyl wall coverings and a fresh coat of paint to modernize the space and ensure durability in a high-use environment.
