Design Experience
For
over 22 years, we have performed hands on experience delivering successful
healthcare projects. Comprehensive and creative surgical environment
design strategies are the by product of our years of Surgical Services
healthcare design.
Key to our success is the knowledge and understanding that is necessary to process Surgical Services planning strategies to implement successful design concepts.
Our additional expertise in performing construction in the complex healthcare setting, knowledge of Interim Life Safety Measures, Infection Control Risk Assessment processes and creativity in executing complex construction phasing sequences enhances and expands the depth of our project delivery capabilities.

Hackensack University Medical Center
Hackensack, New Jersey
Minimally Invasive Robotic OR
Hackensack University Medical Center in their ongoing efforts to maintain a state-of-the-art medical center sought to create two new highly complex operating rooms within the confines of an already crowded surgical environment. The project program called for creating a Minimally Invasive Laparoscopic OR, and a Neurological OR.
Planning strategies displaced Storage Room space and Anesthesia Work Room space which was consuming critical floor area within the core of the surgical suite. Once the non-patient care space was decanted the new operating rooms were able to be complexly integrated into the already congested surgical infrastructure.
Each OR consisted of not only the minimum standards, but additional spatial considerations for full integration of robotic surgical equipment and a full featured information sharing system designed in close collaboration with Karl Storz Endoscopy. Multiple lighting configurations were also integrated into the information sharing system controls. Extensive utilization of equipment booms and suspension systems freed the OR's of floor clutter.
Lake Charles Memorial Hospital
Lake Charles, Louisiana
Outpatient Surgery Center
The Lake Charles Memorial Hospital sought to create a free standing Outpatient Surgical Center, in conjunction with a three story Medical Office Building containing a medical mall, imaging center and medical office suites. The two buildings would be joined by an above grade pedestrian bridge.
Planning strategies analyzed volumes, flow, and compliance with regulatory requirements with an eye toward maximizing flow patterns of patients and staff to increase efficiency and patient volume. The sterile core of the facility was designed to accommodate four outpatient operating rooms and two procedure rooms, with shell space to accommodate the creation of two additional operating rooms in the future.
