Building Type: Three story structurally reinforced concrete with masonry infill
Roof Type: Metal hip roof on trusses
Finishes: Plaster finish on concrete walls and ceiling; tile in restrooms and reception
areas; 2.5cm terrazzo floor and wainscot on First floor; all other floors are appropriately finished concrete (smooth finish, trowel finish, sealed, stained).
Mechanical system: Due to the mild climate of the location ( Moshi, Tanzania) heating and cooling systems are not necessary. Circulating fans are located throughout. The operating theaters are equipped with air conditioning so that a dust free environment can be maintained. Water storage tanks are located above the second floor stairwells, for security of the water supply. A solar hot water heater, located on the roof, will provide hot water for building uses.
