Case Study: Expanding Emergency Care for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
This project involved reconfiguring a 3,400 SF area of the Lake Nona Emergency Department, which had been stretched beyond its capacity to serve patients effectively.
Problem
The emergency department was experiencing overcrowding and lacked the structural capability to quickly expand into adjacent spaces. Additional workspace and triage areas were necessary to improve patient flow and staff efficiency.
Solution
Above Group performed a comprehensive structural assessment to reinforce load-bearing elements and support the newly configured department layout. We then provided design development and construction documents that integrated extra acute care isolation rooms, triage stations, and essential staff areas.
Results
The expanded department offers improved workflow, better isolation options, and dedicated storage for effective management of critical resources. By enhancing the structural framework, we created a more adaptable space to meet increasing patient demands and maintain high-quality healthcare.
