The Clinical Master Plan Implementation – Phase I & II involved the rebuilding and new addition to the Vanderbilt University Hospital. Faced with an aging 1970’s hospital, the Clinical Master Plan our firm developed in 2001 identified the opportunity to rebuild and expand the existing hospital in place, for 1/3 of the cost of building a replacement hospital. Following the construction of a new Children’s Hospital, Phase I involved major renovations to the former pediatric 5th floor unit, including increasing the patient room size from 150 SF to 350 SF – all critical care capable universal rooms – and providing new support cores. On a site adjacent to the hospital, constrained by existing buildings on 3 sides, construction of a new mechanical basement, and Emergency Department expansion on 1st floor level with infrastructure to vertically expand, was undertaken.

Phase II, the next phase of the project, builds on top of the Emergency Department with floors 2 through 10. These floors will include operating suites, critical care inpatient units, and a new hospital entrance. Our responsibilities included programming, Plan, design input through the DD phase, and design management of the interior and exterior of the building through construction.
