As standards for patient care have advanced, our firm developed a master plan to convert all Columbia Memorial Hospital’s shared patient rooms into private rooms with shared toilets. The first phase of this plan was implemented in 2004 with a fourth floor renovation, and is now being realized on the sixth floor of the hospital. The renovated sixth floor will include patient rooms averaging 250sf with modern headwall units, sustainable finishes, and satellite nurse stations located to allow constant patient visibility with minimal foot traffic for staff.
