Richmond University Medical Center
Master Plan/Emergency Department
Staten Island, New York

Size: 50,000 sf
Schedule: Completed 2009

This busy ED space outgrew its functional use, precipitating the need for an expansion. We were brought in to master plan the ED department. This task involved studying the existing department with an eye toward optimizing its function by improving staff and patient flow while adding new spaces, for Pediatric ED, Behavioral Health and Fast Track that would relieve the Emergency Department proper freeing it up for critical care. The project provides 50,000 square feet to be accomplished in 5 phases while the hospital remains operational.
