HEALTHCARE DESIGN SHOWCASE
CRITICAL CARE AND SURGICAL TOWER
Hackensack University Medical Center,
Helena Theurer Pavilion
Hackensack, N.J.
SUBMITTED BY: P AGE (HOUSTON) AND RSC ARCHITECTS (HACKENSACK, N.J.)
Hackensack University Medical Center constructed a new surgical
tower to enhance patient experience, become recognized
as a global destination, and provide a state-of-the-art facility in
which to treat patients, teach, and work. The program drivers
include 24 operating rooms with iMRI, 50 intensive care patient
rooms, 25 universal patient rooms, 100 medical/surgical
patient rooms, and 50 orthopedic patient rooms.
The project consists of a new nine-story building that spans a
public roadway and connects to the existing parking garage and
hospital on four floors. The design team solved the complicated
challenge of accommodating all the necessary programs within
the available floor plate by extending the Pavilion over the road
(Second Street), reducing the project's footprint.
The project relocates all adult inpatient surgery onto two new
floors of operating rooms with associated support services. A
new central sterile processing department supports the operating
rooms by feeding supplies directly into the red line. The
existing cardiac surgery and surgical intensive care units were
relocated to the Pavilion's critical care floor. The new medical/surgical
units decant the existing hospital's semi-private
patient rooms, and the existing orthopedic unit was relocated
to the Pavilion, helping to privatize patient rooms within the
existing hospital.
Part of this effort involved utility service relocations into a new
four-story central utility plant to serve the hospital. With the
utilities moved, a new patient drop-off was created on Second
Street, where visitors can enter, ride the elevator to the visitor
center, and check in before proceeding to their destination.
