The architect's plan of the new IMRI space

A North/South view of the space, which will house the Operative and Diagnostic Suites. The IMRI magnet will travel in this North/South direction. A 1/4 inch thick steel plate will be placed under the travel path of the magnet. That plate will shield the magnet from interference from metal objects located on the floor below the magnet. Two inches of concrete will be poured over the top of the plate so that it is hidden.

Cable trays such as those pictured here will be located above the ceiling. These trays will support the cable and data lines that will run from the Equipment Room to the Diagnostic and Operative Suites.

This air conditioning unit will be located in the IMRI Equipment Room. The equipment in the IMRI room will put off a good amount of heat, so a dedicated air conditioning unit is needed specifically for this room.

New steel beams have been installed in the ceiling space of the Diagnostic and Operative Suites. These beams will support the two steel rails that the IMRI magnet will run on when the magnet travels between the two rooms.

A view of the North wall of the Diagnostic Room. The black box with the copper piping is a medical gas zone valve box that serves the medical gas outlets located in the Diagnostic Room. The valves in the box are accessed from a corridor outside the room. In case of an emergency, medical staff can shut off the medical gas to the room without entering the room.
