WVU Medicine Surgical Expansion

Shockey helped WVU Medicine expand its surgical capacity with the addition of five new cutting edge, full service operating rooms. As part of the renovation, our team also performed HVAC upgrades to two existing ORs, and all finishes were upgraded in an existing corridor.

In order to accommodate the latest innovative technology, the newly built operating rooms at Berkeley Medical Center range from 600 to 921 square feet, making them much larger than traditional operating rooms.

Two of the new ORs support minimally invasive robotic technology called the da Vinci Intuitive Xi, which enhances the technical skills of surgeons and allows patients to heal faster with fewer complications. The expansion includes a new operating room dedicated to orthopedic surgical procedures, including anterior total hip replacement, plus an OR dedicated to the integrated vascular thoracic Stryker iSuite.

Shockey also added a neurosurgery iSuite, housing neurosurgical technology which includes the Mazor X robot. Berkeley Medical Center is the first hospital in West Virginia to acquire the Mazor X to perform robotic spine surgery.
