Ambulatory Surgery Facility

Positioned on the outskirts of Charleston, the site takes advantage of an undeveloped wooded area near suburban neighborhoods and shopping centers. This location was selected for its convenient accessibility to a dense population while also providing a serene greenfield environment. The open and secluded setting fosters a retreat-like atmosphere. A patient-centric approach prioritizes comfort and experience by incorporating views of surrounding greenery. Outdoor community spaces provide opportunities for relaxation and interaction. Strategic scalability is achieved by planning for future expansion, ensuring the facility can adapt and grow with increasing demand. This goal is achieved by designing separate buildings for each department, connected through a glass corridor belt that enhances accessibility.

Departments Connections

The design approach leverages the surrounding greenery by separating each department into its own building, enhancing natural light and views through interior glass corridors within each structure. A connecting glass corridor belt unites all departments, serving as both a functional pathway and a striking architectural feature of the facility.

3D VIEW OF NURSE STATION IN PREP/PACU

Pre-operative & Post-anesthesia Care Unit

The Prep-Pacu includes 10 patient rooms, each with a private bathroom and observation Windows. The rooms are mirrored and arranged in the most efficient layout for this configuration, with supporting spaces positioned parallel to the patient rooms. The nurse station is centrally located, positioned parallel to the patient rooms to facilitate effective monitoring.

Surgical Suite

The OR suite consists of four rooms arranged linearly, providing direct access to a central sterile core located between the OR rooms and the supporting areas. The Prep/PACU area and the OR suite, though separate, are connected by a glass corridor, with a control desk strategically located within this space. The OR rooms follow identical furniture arrangements.

Individual Project

The design process for exam pods begins with FGI requirements for an exam room as an initiative cell. It focuses on two key aspects: ensuring patient privacy and optimizing caregiver workflow. Privacy zoning and strategic placement of elements like the caregiver’s seat, exam table, and sink are central to this process, fostering efficient and private patient care.

3D VIEW FROM VISITOR SIDE

The design process for the exam pod follows a linear layout, incorporating six exam rooms in a sequential fashion. Adjacent to these rooms are parallel lines housing supporting areas and the entrance. Placing the caregiver station at the center grants equal and optimal control over all exam rooms, ensuring seamless management and supervision within the pod’s layout.

EXAM POD LAYOUT

3D VIEW FROM VISITOR SIDE

The design process for the exam pods is crafted to enable each pod control over two adjoining exam rooms, fostering efficient use of space. Shared soiled and clean storage areas facilitate collaboration between two agent pods. Emphasizing proximity, every element within the plan is strategically placed for convenience. The entrance, distinguished by a specific color and equipped with a scale, serves as a clear navigational aid for patients, minimizing confusion and offering location awareness.
