COMPLETION:
Fall 2029 (est.)
In the heart of the Caribbean, on the island of
St. Croix, plans are advancing for the future
Governor Juan F. Luis Hospital and Medical
Center. After Hurricanes Irma and Maria severely
damaged the aging hospital, the need
for a replacement became clear and pressing.
Embracing this rare opportunity, the team is
redefining healthcare on the island while replacing
the hospital with a beacon of strength
and resilience.
The 482,000-square-foot facility is programmed
and designed to provide comprehensive
health services to the island's 40,000
residents and the population across the larger
territory-the facility will include a NICU and
care spaces for trauma, specialized cardiac,
and behavioral health. Resilience and flexibility
are central to the design, safeguarding the
hospital against the island's unique challenges,
including Category 5 hurricanes, tsunamis,
earthquakes, and other crises. The facility features
redundant systems to prevent service
interruptions, spacious storage rooms for bulk
materials, and adaptable patient care spaces
to accommodate changes in patient care levels
based on real-time needs. As the island's sole
community hospital, it is crucial for the facility
to remain operational during community- and
island-wide infrastructure disruptions.
The design blends modern sophistication
with the rich cultural importance of inclusivity,
warmth, and community. Intuitive wayfinding,
private rooms, indoor-outdoor integration, a
green roof, and public courtyard enhance the
patient experience. Upon completion, this
world-class facility will be more than a hospital;
it will serve as a stabilizing force and symbol
of hope, resilience, and community strength for
St. Croix and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
