University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Marsico Hall

Vibration isolation of research building with medical and sensitive equipment.

To create a vibration-free environment essential for the highly sensitive medical and research equipment in the University of North Carolina School of Medicine's Marsico Hall, REGUPOL vibration solutions were implemented. Spanning 343,000 square feet, Marsico Hall houses advanced imaging equipment such as MRI and CT scanners used for both human and animal imaging. These cutting-edge machines demand a stable, vibration-free setting to ensure accurate operation and reliable results. REGUPOL vibration products were specifically selected to mitigate vibrations from both internal activities and external sources, safeguarding the performance of these critical devices.

Crafted from a resilient blend of rubber fibers, granules, and polyurethane, REGUPOL vibration creates a decoupling layer that effectively absorbs and dampens vibrations, preventing them from reaching sensitive equipment. By integrating these solutions, the designers of Marsico Hall established a stable and controlled environment, ensuring optimal functionality for the advanced imaging systems. This not only enhances the University of North Carolina School of Medicine’s operational excellence but also advances medical research and elevates the quality of patient care.
