Clinical Center Pharmacy and P-IVAU Renovation
The NIH Clinical Center (CC) Pharmacy occupies approx. 10,000 SF in the Southeast Wing of the Clinical Research Center. The existing space consisted of inpatient and outpatient service areas, waiting areas, drug prescription packaging/processing areas, inventory storage areas, offices, breakrooms and lavatories. The original pharmacy at NIH was ready for a modernization to stay compliant with the newest FDA regulations. The purpose of the project was to renovate the existing pharmacy and re-establish all pharmacy services to support the Clinical Center. The new pharmacy is completely automated, using robotic equipment to prepare and deliver patient medicines.
RMF’s team included subject matter expert consultants who provided project management services for preparing bridging documents for design/build RFP procurement of the renovated space. In addition, RMF provided Construction Administration, Construction Progress Meetings, CQM & Commissioning services.
This renovation provided NIH with a state-of-the-art Clinical Center Pharmacy that supports all functions and research within the clinical center. Many iterations occurred for developing the layout of the space. The project involved several different NIH departments in addition to the Clinical Center Pharmacy and ORF and was required to meet NIH Chapter 13 DRM requirements in addition to FDA approval.
