BDR Partners completed the original Perioperative Master Plan for Emory University Hospital and was engaged to continue project engagement through occupancy of each phase of construction. The project was a 95,000 SF, $36 million renovation and expansion to the perioperative suite at the hospital’s main campus. The program consisted of clinical areas, as well as expansion and renovation of support spaces which included:
• 5 Neuro/General OR’s
• 7 Bi-plane Hybrid OR’s
• 4 Endoscopic Procedure Rooms
• Frozen Section Anesthesia Services
• 46-Bay Combined Pre/Post POHA/ PACU Anesthesia Care Area
• Sterile Core
• Family Waiting Area
• Physician Consult Rooms
• Satellite Pharmacy
In all areas of the project (especially in the POHA/PACU) an emphasis on flexible operation drove the design process in this space. A combined 46-bed platform allows ‘flexing’ between departments and the inclusion of Endoscopic pre- and post-procedural patients. The space utilizes both open bays and private rooms (including negative pressure rooms) organized into operational ‘pods’ which can be staffed by various teams throughout the day.
