Halifax Medical Center’s new 180-bed Patient Tower and Emergency Department features all private patient rooms, increased family space including a family resource area, and four times the space for emergency services. The 89,000-sf emergency department is located on the tower’s ground floor. The ED has 107 treatment rooms, including 96 modular rooms to meet varying patient demand and needs; eight are dedicated psychiatric rooms and three are designated trauma resuscitation rooms. The critical care area is on the third and fourth floors while medical surgical beds are on floors 5-7. Storage areas and shelled space designated for future medical/surgical units are on floors 8-10. In lieu of a second level, the first floor has a greater floor-to-floor height to provide more flexibility in the future. The mechanical penthouse on the third-floor roof houses the mechanical and electrical equipment that serves the emergency department. Located on top of the tower is the new helistop. The new two-story central plant was completed first so it could serve the Patient Tower/ED throughout construction. The project was the first phase of a 10-year master planning and redesign of Halifax Medical Center’s main campus.
