The path represents order in an often complicated, overwhelming and hectic place. Carefully considered design brings calmness to a space and in this case helps point the focus on a patient-centric world.

Patient-centered design and Lean healthcare concepts inform the design of the ED and SCU interior. Glazing at med rooms and exam rooms keep patients visible from work zones. Standardized exam rooms allow for a streamlined patient flow process as there is no need to wait for a specialized room. The layout of the unit itself mimics an ICU environment with exam, observation, and trauma rooms fanned around the central nurses' desk. The design responds to the need for a welcoming, accessible, and operationally efficient facility.
