The Children's
Inn on the Bethesda Campus of the National Institute of Health acts as
a home away from home for the seriously ill children that are receiving
experimental treatment in hopes of a cure for the specific disease that
brought them to N.I.H. The Inn also houses the families of these children,
adding to the homelike atmosphere.
This expansion
will provide twenty-two additional guest rooms, kitchen, dining and laundry
facilities, lounge and meeting rroms and additional staff offices and
public space amenities. The 34,000 square foot two-story addition has
combination steel and wood frame structure. The exterior is wrapped in
stone and cedar siding with a cedar shakes roof and a dramatic sloped
wall stair tower. To ensure comfort and optimum control, the addition
has its own water cooled heat pump system, including gas fired boilers
and vertical heat pumps at each guest room. All public areas are served
by zoned horizontal heat pumps. The new electric service includes a new
500 KW generator to allow for 100% emergency power back-up.
The Keystone
Group has been a part of the team from project inception. Preconstruction
services included overall preliminary budgeting and scheduling, major
systems selections, consultant coordination and monitoring of approvals.
Overall project costs remain well within the targeted values.
