The existing emergency
department at Fairchild Medical Center was forced to use
the hospital’s main lobby, or the side ambulance
entrance to receive and triage patients and their loved
ones. ORW worked with the hospital’s staff and
administrators to create a new front door for the
emergency department, giving it much needed visibility
to the public and vastly improving the facility’s
operation.
The project consisted of a new entry and waiting room,
reception and triage areas, and administrative spaces
all in close proximity to the existing emergency
department. The new spaces are carefully knit into the
fabric of the current structure utilizing a similar
palette of colors and materials on the interior and
exterior. The entry structure and signage create a new
focal point on the street facade - orienting arriving
patients and providing a sense of entry to this crucial
facility.
