The
new nine-story, 240-bed All Childrens Replacement
Hospital is the most ambitious expansion project in the
hospitals history. To ensure that the new hospital
address a variety of needs, the design team included young
patients and their parents who contributed design concepts
in the form of colorful drawings of what a childrens
hospital should be. All of the patient suites will be
private rooms averaging 80% larger than the current private/semi-private
rooms. Two floors of the hospital are devoted to coordinated
care for mothers and newborns. One floor will be leased
by Bayfront Medical Center to house its Women & Childrens
Center and a nursery. The other will be home to All Childrens
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. On the first floor will
be an enlarged Pediatric Emergency Room Trauma Center
with a separate landing area for helicopter transport
and a pedestrian walkway bridge to the Emergency/Trauma
Unit at Bayfront Medical Center. The integrated Outpatient
Care Center adjacent to the hospital will house outpatient
diagnostics (MRI, open MRI, CT and PET/CT), rehabilitative
and therapy services. Adjoining both the hospital and
outpatient center is a 1,000-space covered parking garage.
