HEALTHCARE ST JOHN'S EPISCOPAL HOSPITAL (SJEH) ARCHITECT SBLM PROJECT LOCATION 1909 Plainview Avenue, Far Rockaway, Queens PROJECT SIZE 38,000 SF PROJECT COST 38,000 SF SCOPE Design review, HVAC, sprinkler, plumbing and electrical power design and construction administration Teaching Center at St John's Episcopal Hospital Morozov has been retained to take over design and construction administration of a 4-storey 38,000 SF teaching center on the campus of St. John's Episcopalian Hospital in Far Rockaway, Queens. St. John’s Episcopal Hospital is the only hospital providing emergency and ambulatory care to the densely populated, culturally and economically diverse, and medically underserved populations of the Rockaways and Five Towns in southern Queens County and southwestern Nassau County, New York. The 257-bed facility provides people of all faiths with comprehensive preventive, diagnostic, treatment and rehabilitative services, regardless of ability to pay. The new teaching center was conceived as an expansion facility to relieve congestion and provide new state-of-the-art training and teaching areas to support residency programs. The center comprises of exam rooms, lecture halls, simulation rooms, offices and classrooms. Two floors are designed to be fully compliant with New York State Health Law Article 28. The basement floor will be a new home to the hospital's IT department including its data center. In addition, the new facility is conceived to serve an emergency community shelter. Morozov team began the process with a comprehensive design review of all building systems designed by legacy engineer. In the course of the design review our team has found numerous opportunities for optimization of incoming services, sprinkler, mechanical and electrical systems, resulting in estimated $250,000 in construction cost savings to the project as well as savings in operating expenses.

CULTURAL YWCA OF BROOKLYN PREVIOUS PROJECT NEXT PROJECT ARCHITECT PROJECT LOCATION 30 Third Avenue PROJECT SIZE 180,000 SF PROJECT COST SCOPE HVAC design, energy efficiency, CHP feasibility The Young Women’s Christian Association was founded in 1888. The goal of the organization was to provide a meeting place for young women who were employed in retail stores, as office workers and other occupations throughout Brooklyn. These young ladies could listen to lectures, concerts, enjoy the reading room, and receive Christian instruction, if so desired. It was the first major organization of its kind in Brooklyn to be entirely run by women. In 1928 the Y has moved to its current building at 30 Third Avenue. The 11-story building was designed by Frederick Lee Ackerman and Alexander B. Trowbridge. The building has always served as a multi-use facility, including 214 units of supportive, low-income housing for women, a theater, a pool, health and community services, etc. This was the first YWCA to integrate its residences and programs racially. Morozov engineers were tasked with minor HVAC upgrades as well as a feasibility analysis for a co-generation module.

CULTURAL UNITED NATIONS PERMANENT MEMORIAL PREVIOUS PROJECT NEXT PROJECT ARCHITECT Rodney Leon Architects PROJECT LOCATION The United Nations General Assemble Plaza, NY PROJECT SIZE PROJECT COST SCOPE Full MEP design and construction administration services. Plumbing and electrical power, construction administration ARK OF RETURN Permanent Memorial at the United Nations in Honor of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade Rodney Leon won an international UNESCO design competition to erect a memorial to commemorate victims of the Atlantic slave trade. Here’s how the designer talks about the process: ‘”The Ark of Return” memorial is a sacred space that is designed to psychologically and spiritually transport visitors to a place where acknowledgement, education, reflection and healing can take place. The memorial’s exterior form is constructed in a fashion to reflect the image of a vessel or ship in acknowledgement of the millions of African people transported on slave ships to different parts of the world during the “Middle Passage.” Images of maps depicting the “Triangular Slave Trade” influenced the use of the triangle as a primary element in designing the memorial’s shape. The memorial is conceptually also organized in three parts and visitors are meant to pass through “The Ark of Return” to intimately experience three primary elements on the interior space. The first element is a three dimensional map inscribed on the interior of the memorial. This map highlights the African continent at its center and graphically depicts the global scale, complexity and impact of the triangular slave trade in “acknowledgement of the tragedy.” The second element is full-scale human figure lying horizontally in front of a wall inscribed with images of the interior of a slave ship. This is meant to communicate and educate visitors on the physical conditions endured by the millions of African people transported under extreme conditions during the middle passage. The visitors are provided the opportunity to seriously “consider the legacy” of slavery’s impact upon humanity. The third element is a triangular reflecting pool, which introduces water in a meditative, ritualistic and spiritual manner. Visitors are invited to pour libations or say a prayer in memory of the millions of souls that were lost “lest we forget” this monumental and historic tragedy. MOROZOV were invited to advice the design team at the concept stage. The firm’s engineers were tasked with collaborating with the contractor for the General Assembly renovation in locating and bringing power and water to the sculpture of the Ark.

COMMERCIAL 5 EAST 57TH STREET PREVIOUS PROJECT NEXT PROJECT ARCHITECT ​ PROJECT LOCATION ​ PROJECT SIZE ​ PROJECT COST ​ SCOPE ​ 5 East 57th Street is an existing 22-storey 49,000 SF commercial high rise building. The stretch of East 57th Street was once an exclusive residential neighborhood with opulent mansions owned by bankers and industrialists. But by early century, most of the millionaires moved further uptown and the area greatly changed. Number 5 was among 14 sites acquired by William Randolph Hearst and Arthur Brisbane in 1925 with a view to erect a group of commercial structures along east 57th and east 54th streets. The plans for a 247-foot-tall tower were drawn up in 1926 by a prolific New York city architect Emery Roth. The building was designed as of a mix of Gothic and Art Deco style with exaggerated setbacks. ​ In June 2004, the 1968 NYC Building Code was amended with the signing of Local Law 26 of 2004. The new law mandated retroactive requirements for a full system of automatic sprinklers to be installed in office buildings 100 feet or more in height and buildings classified in occupancy group E 100 feet or more in height. ​ Morozov was retained by the owners of 5 East 57th Street to retrofit the building with a modern fire protection system pursuant to Local Law 26 requirements. The first challenge had to do with an interpretation of the mandate in a way as to not burden the owners with onerous system design. In other words, any proposed system had to be right-sized for the project and in accordance with NFPA 13 and NFPA 20. Another- greater- challenge was in fitting a new fire pump, all new sprinkler risers, piping, and heads into the existing shafts, ceilings and walls, while carrying out the work around the existing rent paying tenants. Following a comprehensive survey, Morozov engineers worked with the property manager to develop a floor-by-floor phasing schedule. Fire pump and main riser were installed in phase I. Floor fit outs were carried out in subsequent phases as the floors became accessible.

COMMERCIAL 621 WEST 55TH STREET PREVIOUS PROJECT NEXT PROJECT ARCHITECT ​ PROJECT LOCATION ​ PROJECT SIZE ​ PROJECT COST ​ SCOPE full MEP design and construction administration services A 22,000 square foot ground up high rise commercial office building in New York city. This boutique building contains 8 full floor offices above a 3-level parking garage. 621 West 55th Street is being designed to meet US Passive House Institute standards for energy efficiency. Passive House standard emphasizes air-tight, continuously insulated building envelope without thermal bridges, high performance windows and balanced heat and moisture recovery ventilation. Passive House buildings are expected to consume 75-90% less energy than traditional buildings. The biggest challenge for MEP systems was to minimize the impact of the high rise MEP system requirements on an relatively small floor plate (2,400 SF). A fire protection tank, standpipe, generator, ventilation systems all eat up valuable floor area and the project becomes less financially viable. Morozov team worked closely with the architect to optimize MEP systems to achieve the largest possible usable area. The building is cooled and heated with a variable-refrigerant system. Packaged rooftop energy recovery ventilator filtered and conditioned fresh air directly into each office in a continuous ventilation cycle. MEP systems include a 150-kW emergency generator with a diesel tank, an underground suction tank for fire protection, and reversible air-flow parking garage exhaust system with post-fire smoke purge functionality.
