Transforming clinical space into a modern diagnostic hub, this renovation prioritizes patient comfort, operational flow, and long-term flexibility.

PROJECT DETAILS

This project focuses on the transformation of an outdated nursery space into a modernized, highly functional diagnostic suite tailored to the hospital’s evolving needs. The renovation delivers two state-of-the-art Vascular Lab suites and two Cardio/ECHO Labs, designed to enhance diagnostic capabilities while streamlining workflow and improving patient outcomes. Integral to the design is a dedicated scope cleaning and storage area to support procedural hygiene, efficiency, and safety.

To enhance the patient experience, a new reception and sub-waiting area were added. These spaces not only provide comfort but also help manage throughput by clearly organizing patient intake and movement through the lab services. Every design decision was made with patient accessibility and operational flow in mind.

In the second phase of work, Johnston is executing a strategic renovation of the existing “back of house” hallway into a new Cross Connect Corridor. This updated corridor will be expanded to an 8-foot-wide public-facing pathway, creating a more intuitive and accessible connection to the hospital and outpatient clinics located on Level 2.

The full scope of work includes the careful relocation and reconfiguration of several critical support spaces, including the existing Vascular Labs, Telecom/Data Room, Film Library, Lab Storage, and Janitor’s Closet. These changes are being implemented with minimal disruption to daily operations, ensuring the hospital remains fully functional throughout construction.
