Renovation
This renovation project of existing inpatient units was undertaken to accommodate an obstetrics unit, as well as the relocation and expansion of the centre's neo-natal intensive care unit (NICU). Extensive family support and individual areas are provided for each infant. Infant care areas consist of four pods for ten babies each, four private rooms, three isolation rooms and central support areas. Non-patient care areas are located adjacent to the NICU to reduce noise and traffic, while staff support areas are strategically placed away from public circulation. The North America's Society of Critical Care Medicine, ICU Design Citation Award was bestowed on this project to acknowledge its excellence.
