Our design unites various structural elements built over five decades to create a cohesive, modern look. The new facade creates a two-story lobby area, replete with terrazzo flooring, that houses the facility’s new, appropriately sized registration area. Comfortable and intimate seating offer an enhanced patient and visitor experience, while ample natural light improves the look and feel of the space.
Previously, public and clinical circulations were entangled, forcing visitors and patients to navigate a maze of corridors in order to get from the main entrance to patient floors. The renovation provides direct access to existing public visitor elevators and creates a new concourse, which acts as a public thoroughfare along the front of the existing structure by connecting the new main entrance and the Women & Children’s Center entrance. This new circulation spine separates public circulation from patients and staff, providing much-needed efficiency, and allowing patients to maintain their privacy and dignity.
