The new, 200 bed patient pavilion is the culmination of a transformational master plan that accommodates projected increased demand for emergency services with a new ED, integrates outpatient services, and modernizes inpatient care and women’s and infants’ services at this 125+ year old hospital in Washington, DC. The vision accommodates projected increased demand for emergency services, imaging and diagnostic services, integrated outpatient services, and physicians’ office space and responds to consumer demands for private patient rooms and modernized facilities.
A new front door for the hospital decreases traffic and disruptions in the surrounding neighborhoods and establishes a fresh image for the facility. An airy pedestrian concourse greets visitors and conveniently connects parking, ambulatory services, and the new inpatient pavilion. The hospital’s mother/baby program spans multiple floors and includes a special care nursery designed to NICU standards with a private room model.
