Passavant Area Hospital is a 168-bed community hospital serving five counties. The hospital campus, approximately 328,000 s.f., underwent a thorough master planning process. The effort included an evaluation of the existing facilities regarding the need for additional space, code compliance, space utilization, infrastructure, modernization, and general patient flow. Schematic design included a new Emergency Care Center, surgery addition, remodeling of the Radiology Department, Lab Department, existing OR suite, and Cardio-pulmonary Department, and upgrade of site utilities.
This 27,670 s.f. medical office building houses over 40 exam and procedure rooms, offices, and support spaces. Special attention was given to make sure that the facility was designed to address urgent care needs, as well as day-to-day health services, within an efficient layout that breathed a sense of calm and compassion no matter the interaction.
The Presence Health OB Unit was designed to improve staffing flow and communication, to provide a first-class patient experience, to provide PCMC with a competitive advantage within this service line, and to allow for growth.
In order to create a “Place of Well-being” and a building that reflects the College’s teaching mission, the new Health Sciences Center at Rock Valley College provides instructional space that support both existing and emerging health industry degree and certificate programs.
