Baptist Healthcare
New Surgery Expansion

Challenge:

To expand and improve the surgery suit with a design that mitigated long walk distances, separated ‘on stage’ and ‘off stage’ functions and reduced waste in the flow of the department. The need for parking and a lack of presence was also an area of concern.

Services:

Market Analysis, Operational Analysis, Services Demand Assessment, Capital Development Planning, Programming and Space Planning, Healthcare Architecture and Interior Design.

Outcome:

Trinity led both design and operational improvement planning. The Peri Operational process was shortened from a five step process to a three step process with a Pre/Post room model. The design shortened the transfer distance of patients and eliminated cross traffic between public and clinical areas. Finally a new front door was created with a grand lobby space and adjacent parking which made arrivals and pickups more convenient.  This new lobby also allowed for the integration of food services and a new Bistro café.
