A facility assessment and master facility plan focus on the emergency department. Seeing approximately 120,000 visits a year in under 30,000SF, the current ED is dramatically undersized. 

Oportunities are based on clear, agreed upon criteria.

The selected scenario allows for phased expansion, rebuilding the Emergency Department in place with a Pediatric ED and Urgent Care across the street in the first floor of the Administration Building.

One incremental project is consolidating Cardiology Services in the former location of Clinical Labs on the Fifth Floors allowing for a New Inpatient Unit on the 2nd floor of Kronish and expansion  of the Emergency Department on Level L1.

The newly renovated and expanded CTICU will accommodate fourteen patient rooms with accompanying support space in just over 7,000 net programmed square feet. 

A relocated and expanded NICU of 35 beds in 15,000 GSF. Improvements target clinical, administrative and evidence-based strategies that lower infection rates and enhance control of sound and light for babies, as well as to provide expanded provisions for mothers and families of the neonates.

The NGHA is one of the largest health organizations in Saudi Arabia providing the highest quality of primary, secondary and tertiary healthcare services. 

The D&T is oriented to align with the existing Main Hospitall and road system while the bed tower is rotated to achieve optimum solar orientation and provide views of the Jeddah foothills.

The waiting space is accessible to one of the largest courtyards that provides a green space away from the hot, arid climate.

The hospital is designed around the idea of gardens, with visual access to nature along major circulation routes. 

A new 360,000 SF LEED NC Silver hospital with 177 beds and a new medical office building.

Families, envisioned as an essential part of a collaborative care team, are provided space in patient rooms for overnight stays and also have access to pantries for meal preparation. 

As much as possible, services are decentralized and treatment is deployed at the bedside, including in the pre-procedure areas and emergency exam rooms. Patient movement is minimized overall, and daylight is brought into many of the treatment areas. 

The hospital includes an integrated interventional platform which co-located surgical operating room, interventional radiology  and cath labs with pre and post treatment spaces. This consolidation eliminates a duplication of services and spaces, taking advantage of interdisciplinary care, while improving patient flow.

John's Hopkins transformative redevelopment is critical to the continued success of Johns Hopkins Medicine in "…producing tomorrow's doctors and tomorrow's cures while developing the best and most compassionate care." At approximately 1.6 million square feet, the project includes 555 beds, new adult and pediatric trauma center, 24 laboratories, and 53 operating and interventional procedure rooms.

Flexible, adjacent, integrated spaces help support the collaborative spirit that serves as the foundation of both quality healthcare and scientific discovery. The interaction between departments and blending of research are supported by the planning and architecture. For example, the Adult and Children's towers connect on five floor to allow for specialists to bring their expertise  to both children and adults alike.

Master Plan for the 436-bed acute care hospital and associated ambulatory care and medical office building sites. Expansion driven by need to develop signature service lines, create a physician network and decomission a central building. 

A phased plan was created to expand the emergency department to 70 treatment rooms and replace 190 inpatient beds while consolidating surgery and many ancillary services. A hospital adjacent medical office building serves for convenience of new physicians, specifically for the Cancer and Heart/Vascular service lines.

Specialist Clinics off campus enable improved patient outreach and coordinated care in other neighborhoods.

Project scope included 226,000SF of new construction, renovations, medical office building and parking garage. The campus expansion is driven by the need to expand the emergency department, to provide additional operating rooms and additional patient beds. 

The ideal expansion necessitated the demolition of four central buildings which ultimately impacted over thirty departments. Further complexity was in the decanting of existing programs into new, sometimes temporary, locations.

The new 200-bed Children's Hospital and Women's Pavilion is scheduled for completion in 2018.

The plans achieve important adjacencies and inspire confidence in those who visit with the welcoming, logical approach. As a focal point of the building, the entry lobby offers many design opportunities as a functional and connecting entry point. 

The new hospital is design as a green landmark with sustainability woven into the project in fundamental ways. The driving force of the planning is the need to connect the program elements in a efficient and elegant way to allow for future growth to occur logically. 

Located in Jacksonville, Florida, the new hospital fulfills Mayo's goal for a fully integrated medical campus with research, education and patient care together. The project includes 214 beds and 22 operating rooms with over 35 medical/surgical specialties such as kidney, pancreas, heart, lung and liver transplants. 

The design is a bold visual statement emphasizing "kids" as its focus. Beyond playful characteristics, the project provides patient and their families more control over their environment through choices and appropriate opportunities for privacy, security and self-esteem. Private patient rooms, even in the NICU, promote better communication and patient care.
