The work will consist of the installation of a substation in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic on the first floor of the Research and Educational Hospitals to connect with the Medical Records Department in the basement. It will also include installation of a new power exhauster unit and modification of present exhaust and intake manifolds.
