Jersey Shore University Medical Center
7,700 sq. ft. Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit
Neptune, New Jersey

Schedule: Completed 2016

In an effort to meet an ever increasing community need for specialty Obstetrics Healthcare, Jersey Shore University Medical Center determined that a state of the art, new Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) would be added to their current Obstetrics services. The Neo-Natal area design of incorporating private individual mother–baby rooms vs. the traditional nursery was chosen after much research indicated better outcomes for the babies and less stress on the mothers. All new medical infrastructure, state of the art technologies, and equipment were incorporated. An environment of reduced noise, lighting levels, and ease of accessibility and maintenance further advance the success of the NICU.
