TIRR Master Site Plan and Perimeter Flood Barrier

Construction Cost: $3.8 million
Client: The Institute for Rehabilitation and Research

The purpose of this Master Plan was to design and construct a flood barrier system around TIRR Hospital Campus. 

The special challenge was to build a floodwall that is 5ft higher than the 1st floor of the hospital, while creating inviting entrances for patients and visitors. 

This was achieved by providing hidden pockets for flood gates and incorporating landscaping and terraced walls into the system. Outdoor gathering areas for the patients, families and staff were also added.
