Abstract
The heart is the main power source of the blood circulation system, and the cardiovascular is the main pipeline and ways of human blood circulation. If the heart or the cardiovascular out of function, negative effects to body will be come along and even more to life-threatening. As westernized diet was increasingly and come with high pressure stress by the fast-paced of modern life in our society that then causing the increased proportion of high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, also comes with young trend on the incidence of cardiovascular disease. Myocardial infarction is one of the most serious manifestations. To cope with the trend and new technologies, National Taiwan University Hospital decided to renovate the existing 5th floor of the East Wing in the 20 years old hospital Building Complex into Cardiovascular Center. The related construction project involved with remodeling the old building. New buildings are following the current laws and regulations related to architectural, structural, fire and other norms; and the current laws and regulations also specified to the old building when it needs for additions or alterations. Old and new regulations are in response to the actual needs at the time phase and changes of surrounding. When an existing building need for additions or alterations, because of the purposes or functions of space usage, that could need to change original structure and necessity of reinforcing to impose the structure. And unless the original construction was demolished and rebuilt to follow the current laws and regulations, it will be facing more constraints and considerations with complexity required if the reinforcement to impose the structure only for the part of floors or areas and keeps the usage and functions as original for the remaining floors and areas. When facing the restrictions, we need to have plans and lots of kind assumption in advance to be ready for questions, deliberation, communication, coordination in the actual cases. To create project successfully and make sure the in/out safety and security of the workplace and minimize the negative impact and affect.
