The atrium offers convenient registration kiosks built into the reception desk and two distinct wayfinding paths to either the acute care tower elevator bank or WISH tower elevator bank. Photo Credit: Andrew Pogue.
The open trauma/ED waiting area is filled with high windows throughout and floor-to-ceiling glass on both ends to allow access to natural daylight. Photo Credit: Andrew Pogue.
Four mock-ups of the room were built during design, with the team determining a 360-square-foot room with outboard toilet room worked best. Photo Credit: Andrew Pogue.
