Chianis + Anderson Architects provided services for the build out of two floors of open shell space in a four story building. Separation of the unit on two floors posed several challenges for both the user group and the design team. In addition, the “L” shaped floor plate added yet another challenge for the programming of the space, and functional layout.

The third floor houses reception and check-in, sixteen (16) individual preparation and recovery bed positions, staff supprt areas, nurse work space and administrative offices.

The fourth floor contains four (4) operating rooms and all the associated support space including control areas, dedicated patient transport elevator, staff support areas, clean supply and equipment sotrage. Also included is the steril processing department (SPD) adjacent to the operating suite that includes two steam fed steam sterilizers, and the preparation and packing area that support the sterile supply area.
