Project Info
Constructed between 1917 and 2009, the original St. Elizabeth's Medical Center campus spans 25.7 acres and includes 10 buildings and two parking garages. The 329-bed hospital faced operational and infrastructure challenges from decades of organic growth, topographic constraints, disconnected departments, and aging systems that created complex wayfinding for patients, staff, and visitors. The planning team developed a comprehensive site master plan focused on simplifying circulation, improving wayfinding, and aligning infrastructure with future growth. The plan introduces a new hospital entry and central corridor that connects inpatient and outpatient zones, streamlines patient and staff movement, and improves vertical and horizontal access across buildings. Key improvements include: Defined inpatient and outpatient entries with enhanced connectivity New main hospital lobby connecting existing buildings Consolidated departments and service lines to improve functional relationships Increased on-site parking capacity by approximately 400 spaces Relocation of clinical lab and administrative functions to optimize space Upgraded material handling and service access systems The master plan transforms the complex campus into a cohesive healthcare facility with improved patient experience and operational efficiency. * Experience prior to joining HFA.
