Construction Continues at Montefiore Nyack Hospital

Building and site construction continues for the new Emergency Department and Medical Village at Montefiore Nyack Hospital in Nyack, New York. The anticipated completion for Phase I is set for late fall. The new Emergency Department consists of renovated main treatment area, trauma area, nurse stations, and support spaces. Phase I also includes the redesign of the ambulance drop off canopy and drive.

Due to Nyack Hospital’s unique terrain, PDS took the opportunity to create designated entrances for the different hospital users: the ED walk-in patients can now be dropped off at the new ED entrance, the ambulances can enter and exit directly off of Midland Avenue to the designated ambulance parking area, and the Medical Village and Ambulatory Surgery Center entrance is conveniently located closer to the parking lot for visiting patients. The change in topography also allowed opportunities to include gardens and planters creating a comfortable buffer from the busy street.

Nyack Hospital Breaks Ground

We are ecstatic to break ground for Nyack Hospital's Emergency Department!  PDS was tasked to modernize and reconfigure the existing Emergency Department.  This 18,000 SF project will be a mixed occupancy expansion, including a newly designed Emergency Department, Lobby, and supporting spaces.

PDS' ED rendering for Nyack Hospital

Three bricks, different aesthetics

Gauthier Behavioral Health Hospital

Location: Lake Charles, Louisiana

In this material study, PDS was challenged to find a simple and cost effective way to make an ordinary brick wall appear extraordinary and dynamic. In an attempt to make the massive 65,000 SF building feel light weight, we are working with a gradient of 3 brick types. Moving from darkest at the bottom and fading slightly to a light colored brick, we ended by capping the building with a Bone colored roof in a final gesture of lightness and visual balance.
