NYU Langone Medical Center
The Need
When Hurricane Sandy struck the northeast in October 2012, NYU Langone Medical Center became one of the many victims of the storm.
The Solution
With no open space, due to constraints in its urban location, the best option was to place an interim containerized kitchen on the roof of a parking garage.
project description
With the rising storm surge and failing back-up generator, the hospital made an important decision and successfully evacuated 322 patients. Once immediate danger was over and the patients were cared for elsewhere, the focus shifted to re-opening the damaged hospital and medical center. After contacting Kitchens To Go in early November for an interim foodservice solution, the first unit arrived and was in place 30 days later.
quick facts
- The containerized interim kitchen was used for retherm of food from a local commissary kitchen as well as cooking on site.
- The kitchen was in place for 1 year and removed when construction was completed and the foodservice staff could return "home" to their renovated space.
