The Ohio State University Medical Center
Columbus, Ohio
The Ohio State University Medical Center requested CBLH Design to assist them in the assessment of existing conditions of the Emergency Department and to create a concept for future growth through the year 2014. The current ED is designed for 46,000 visits and currently is exceeding 54,000 visits.
| Area of Building: | 66,000 SF |
| Construction Cost: | $23,000,000 (estimated) |
With projected visits for 2014 at 83,000, CBLH Design and the Medical Center determined the need for 98 total treatment spaces which included CDU, Psych and Prison exam spaces. The study, completed in 2005, determined that 66,000 square feet would be required to more than double the capacity of this department. The above conceptual plan allows for a four phased project approach resulting in an ED that maximizes the use of universal treatment space. CBLH completed this study within the framework of a Medical Center Master Plan previously developed.
