BDR Partners has provided planning, programming, project management, and staff extension services for over $400 million of capital projects, totaling more than 615,000 SF of space across Emory Healthcare’s multi-campus system. The central element of this program was a new bed tower expansion to increase inpatient beds, diagnostic, and treatment capacity for Emory Healthcare’s flagship hospital.
• 232 new beds
• One level of diagnostic, testing and support space
• New inpatient food service capacity as well as Visitor and private staff dining
• New loading dock and central receiving to support tower operations
• Physical bridge and building connection to four existing buildings including hospital and clinic. As well as improved connectivity to staff parking
• Future capacity for expanded perioperative platform connected via bridge system
• Space integrated for teaching, staff education and research programs
• Covered vehicular arrival plaza and new main hospital entrance above street lobby and bridge connections between clinic, hospital and parking decks
• 500 spaces, four-level, below-grade parking deck
• Associated infrastructure improvements including utility relocations
• Integrated Central Energy Plant to service expansion and adjacent buildings
BDR successfully accrued over $14 million of savings from the original tower project, allowing for additional projects that are now ongoing throughout the new tower shell space and existing hospital.
