A four-story hospital addition and major renovation

The centerpiece of Inova Fair Oaks Hospital's expansion program is a four-story, 145,000-square-foot addition that increases inpatient beds and patient services.

The addition provides two new floors for inpatient care including 10 observation beds, 12 critical care beds, 36 medical/surgical beds and 34 intermediate care beds. The medical/surgical and intermediate care units have a large percentage of private patient rooms designed with patient, family and staff zones, as well as decentralized nursing care stations.

The first floor of the new wing creates a new main entrance, lobby and administrative offices; new dietary and material management departments; and a service/delivery dock. The second floor houses an outpatient services "mall," including registration, pre-testing, women's diagnostic services and entry to the imaging and ambulatory surgery departments. New surgery facilities include four operating rooms; and pre-op, PACU and stage II recovery space.

The new design provides needed support spaces, such as nursing centers, supply and equipment storage and medication and nourishment facilities.

Existing departments, such as emergency, imaging, SPD, pharmacy, rehabilitation, labor/delivery, NICU and pediatrics, were also remodeled to meet current standards and accommodate projected hospital growth.
