Phasing the project while keeping the Family Birth Center open for patients required careful coordination with staff and flexibility for changes along the way.
The space features 24 private postpartum/antepartum swing rooms with an innovative room layout designed to hide medical equipment, complimented by modern furnishings, resulting in a more comfortable feel. The project also includes an expanded newborn intensive care unit, a remodeled nursery, six private standard labor rooms and four private water birthing suites. To accommodate visitors and family members, the Center offers in-suite sofa beds, a café and fireplace lounge. The labor and delivery unit is within a fully secured perimeter for family safety.
