| Texas Children’s Hospital - NEW FIRE PROTECTION DEEMED ESSENTIAL PART OF HOSPITAL’S CARE |
Texas Children’s Hospital recently added a new high-rise facility to its five building campus in Houston. The new Pavilion for Women, designed to care for the highest risk mothers and babies, is essentially two towers, one 15 fl oors, the other six
floors, that are connected at the base. The building is an entire city block wide and two football fields long.
Fire protection is of critical importance to the nature of care provided at Pavilion for Women, says Lonnie Rinehart, the hospital’s plant operations manager.
“For us, it all goes back to patient safety,” says Rinehart. “We have babies in neonatal intensive care that literally fit in the palm of your hand. They can’t go anywhere during a fire alarm – it’s all a part of what we do to protect them.” |

| Ontario Science Centre Fire Protection Gets Futuristic Upgrade - Customized, Dependable System Features Unique Emergency Scene Assessment Tool for First Responders |
Set on the edge of a ravine, the 540,000-square-foot Ontario Science Centre is the size of a large airport, with three separate buildings on different elevations as they descend into the valley. Nearly 1.4 million people visit the Centre annually to take in everything from the science of electricity and space exploration to how the body works.
The Centre’s drive to have its visitors get “lost in science,” wandering from building to building, level to level, is a great premise. However, this “lost” theme can be a detriment to life safety when a fi re alarm is triggered somewhere
within the massive complex. |
