HEALTHCARE DESIGN SHOWCASE FINALIST COMMUNITY HOSPITAL Evangelical Community Hospital Lewisburg, Pa. SUBMITTED BY: CALLISONRTKL (BALTIMORE) CallisonRTKL worked with Evangelical Community Hospital (ECH) to revitalize the existing community hospital with a new landmark bed tower. Through the Patient Room Improvement, Modernization and Enhancement (PRIME) project, we created a modernized space that defines wayfinding with natural light through a series of courtyards and openings to guide the user through the new tower to the existing hospital. The ECH PRIME tower represented an opportunity to modernize the facility and bring the community back to the hospital with a refreshed brand and patient experience. The goal was to seamlessly tie the new tower into the existing facility, provide access to expanded patient services, and build upon the community's longstanding relationship with the hospital. The new tower touches the existing hospital at two locations to tie to existing circulation, while the remaining footprint is held away to create courtyards along the main promenade. The narrow floorplate lets light penetrate deeper into the patient floors to reach the clinical support core to connect staff with the exterior. Light, neutral, and reflective colors were chosen to bring light deeper into the core support areas of the floor and increase ambient daylighting. Wood was introduced to compliment views to the landscaped courtyards at the large expanses of glazing along the ground floor promenade and public amenities spaces. Black steel detailing throughout the facility references the central Pennsylvania context and is used at visitor wayfinding points. Color is introduced through furniture selections and large custom wall graphics along the promenade and on patient floors and treatment spaces.
