The Inpatient and Outpatient Dialysis is a complex and first-of-its-kind project combining existing separate inpatient and outpatient units into a centralized Dialysis unit. It included the renovation of 23,000-square-feet of general medical office into a specialized medical unit requiring specific space planning and infrastructure solutions. Dialysis is a life-saving treatment for many individuals, and this new combined space makes the dialysis process more streamlined for both patients and hospital staff. In addition to better usability, our team also designed the space to be welcoming to child patients who may feel anxious in a traditional hospital space. Our team used colorful furniture and fixtures, which match the underwater-themed murals and five aquariums in the reception areas and patient treatment centers and help to contribute to a welcoming and child-friendly space. The inpatient area features 10 open-bay patient treatment stations, two isolation treatment rooms and associated support spaces. The outpatient area features 11 open-bay patient treatment stations, two isolation treatment rooms and exam rooms. In addition, the new space will have an area to support those on home dialysis. This area includes exam rooms, home training rooms, a classroom and associated support spaces.
