Our design process centered around creating a hospitality-like experience for patients, many of whom travel from around the world to receive the hospital’s renowned care. The hospital’s modern exterior reflects the sophisticated, high-tech care patients can expect to receive inside and features wood-look metal panels, perforated metal screens and large expanses of windows. A glass canopy welcomes visitors into the main lobby, where the interior design was influenced by west Florida’s lush landscape and vibrant plant life.
Our interior designers drew inspiration from Florida’s sun, sand and blue skies, which is reflected in the space’s materials and finishes. For added comfort and convenience, patients can check in at the centralized registration desk and wait in one of the lounge areas, or visit the adjacent dining space and outdoor terrace. The calming pre- and post-surgery unit is home to 33 bays with a centralized nursing station demarcated by a wood ceiling feature and recessed lighting, while 15 private patient rooms create a comforting experience that reduces stress.
The facility’s radiology, nuclear medicine, laboratory and pathology departments enable physicians to diagnose and treat endocrine tumors, and the eight operating rooms are equipped with the latest technology, such as video connectivity and robotic systems, to support surgeons performing advanced procedures. Additionally, updates to the existing elevator circulation create operational efficiencies while separating the Hospital for Endocrine Surgery staff and patients from West Tampa Hospital’s other patient populations.
Our team provided a modern, technically-advanced space that meets today’s operational needs while also providing flexibility for the future as treatment methods evolve. The new Hospital for Endocrine Surgery provides a one-of-a-kind patient experience that supports world-class surgeons in providing highly specialized care.
