Firm’s role on the project: Architect
Type of facility: Acute care psychiatric hospital
Number of beds: 330
This acute care psychiatric hospital reflects advanced thinking on the nature of patients and treatment delivery. It is designed around a series of courtyards and enclosed park land that allow patients ready access to a variety of secure outdoor spaces. The interior is designed to be flexible so that space can be reprogrammed for alternate uses.
The hospital, with 330 beds and 412,000 square feet, consolidates the once separated inpatient residential wards, program activities and support services into a single building. The design has served as a model for three other hospitals in the state. Services included master planning through construction contract administration.
