Helen DeVos Children's Hospital

Grand Rapids, Michigan

Story

These are just a few things that Feyen Zylstra worked on; Phones, computers (LAN/Network), elevators, mechanical systems, TV’s, audio/video, nurse call, patient observation, patient monitoring, telemetry, cameras, security access control, paging/speakers, wireless access points, public wireless network. In addition, fiber optic cabling was installed to connect 32 unique communications closets within the hospital, as well as providing critical links between the hospital and adjacent facilities Tower 25 and 35 on Medical Hill. The number of systems that required installation, coupled with the normal challenges of working in a multi-story building made the project a perfect fit for Feyen Zylstra’s “Power of Knowledge” approach. The company’s previous experience in healthcare played a key role. Feyen Zylstra had proven itself in past projects for Spectrum’s Lemmon-Holton Cancer Center, Meijer Heart Center, and other initiatives on both the Blodgett and Butterworth campuses.
