Reheats and controls are outdated and are not compatible with the Delta Connects BMS system which creates issues with proper heating of the entire area. Plumbing system,mainly the shower mixing valves and outdated fixtures are operational but require recurring maintenance. There is also an issue with isolating the domestic hot and cold water for this ward. The lack of water and drain hook up for Hemo dialysis narrows down the amount of patients that can be transferred to that space in case of emergency. All MEP upgrades to the space will provide the facility with flexibility to transform the entire 5C ward into an emergency unit in times of unprecedent events. In addition, new updates will significantly improve overall building efficiency and quality of life for the patients at VA New Jersey Health Care System East Orange Campus, 5C Ward, Building # 1 Main Hospital. 3.
