Gamma Knife Suite at Harper University Hospital, Detroit Medical Center

In 2003, DeMaria built a new Gamma Knife facility at Harper University Hospital. The facility was the first of its kind in Michigan. The technology is non-invasive and combats intracranial tumors. Minimal surgical risk and reduced hospitalization time are a few of the benefits achieved.

During renovation, equipment in surrounding areas could not become unclaibrated or be shut down. DeMaria worked closely with three user groups so that three floors above the work site could be exposed to provide crane access to existing equipment too heavy to be removed under normal means.

Sterile environments were kept preserved and quiet. A linear accelerator immediately adjacent to the demolition of a large 3-foot concrete wall was kept fully calibrated and isolated from any vibrations.
