Healthcare Design - October 2014 - 23
Nine of Haney's team members-including the medical director of the ED, the human
resources director, finance director, chief nursing
executive, and members of the design team-
became certified in the Evidence-based Design
Accreditation and Certification (EDAC) program,
a credential offered by CHD to individuals who
demonstrate a thorough understanding of how
to apply an evidence-based process to the
design and development of healthcare facilities.
This knowledge, Haney says, gave the team a
common language as they talked about design
and helped define what a safe hospital would
look like. It also made it easier to discuss issues
and make decisions.

While this education was taking place, the
hospital board was wrestling with some tough
decisions. "The question was not whether to
build, but how much to build," Haney says. Concerned about capital spending, the decision was
made to reduce the initial size of the hospital
from 112 beds to 56, shelling in two floors to accommodate more beds as the population grew.
The team was ready to move forward in fall 2010
on an eight-story, 295,700-square-foot hospital;
a seven-story atrium that ties an existing medical office building (MOB) to a new four-story,
82,220-square-foot MOB and the new hospital;
and a one-level, 120,000-square-foot precast
parking deck.
WellStar made a commitment to the community that it would have its new campus completed by spring 2014, but its approved certificate
of need from the state also defined a mandatory
start date of Dec. 2, 2011, and completion date
of July 2, 2014.
In order to open on time, the team fasttracked the project by truncating the design
phases into early-release packages, with general
contractor Brasfield & Gorrie (Atlanta) beginning
preconstruction work in March 2012 (six months
before the construction documents were completed) and using building information modeling
and prefabrication to help expedite the process.
Applying the evidence
Filled with natural light, the new hospital features
56 private patient rooms with the ability to
expand to 112, as well as 40 adult and pediatric
emergency exam rooms, four surgical suites,
decentralized nurses' stations, administrative
offices, and a café. According to Mary Lindeman, project manager for architecture firm
CDH Partners (Marietta, Ga.), all decisions were
Top: The exterior of the building is designed to complement the materials of
the existing medical office building, which had two different colored bricks,
cast stone, and metal accents. Above: Warm earth colors combined with
nature images make up the interior palette in this elevator lobby. Opposite:
A grand staircase in the lobby connects the main hospital to the outpatient
entry. A "wave wall" on the right offers acoustical properties.
