SELECT PROJECTS
Riverview Health - Westfield Out Patient Care Center, Westfield, Indiana
- The Westfield Outpatient Care Center is a green-field outpatient care center and ambulatory surgery hospital designed and planned for one of the quickest growing communities in Indiana.
The project includes an emergency department, patient testing lab, imaging department, employee clinic, and workmed clinic on the First Floor, an ambulatory surgery, 8-bed pre / post op unit, and 4-bed inpatient unit on Second Floor. Rehab and fitness center on Third Floor, and two floors of medical office space with satellite labs on floors Four and Five.
- W5 Design, in conjunction with American Structurepoint, provided a multi-year, multi-phased medical campus master plan. The master planning process utilized online questionnaires. W5 Design developed, distributed and analyzed 22 departmental questionnaires and conducted 22 departmental meetings to gain insight from the staff.
This master plan identified desired future programming and required phasing. Deliverables consisted of phased floor plans, site plans, and exterior elevations. Each phase was accompanied by a narrative describing the program, phasing, and projected budgets.
- The 26,900 square foot, $1.7 million Good Samaritan Hospital 13th Floor Mother Baby Unit Renovation provides a warm and comforting atmosphere to families and their new additions.
The unit is comprised of: 39 Patient Rooms (49 beds), Newborn Nursery, 4-bed Neonatal Nursery, Waiting Rooms, and Staff Support Spaces. The project was planned for a maximum of 20 phases with a minimum of two patient rooms being given to the construction team at a time. Flexibility with the schedule by the construction team was key.
