Pinnacle Ambulatory Surgical Center
The design of this Ambulatory Surgery Center was focused on creating a comfortable and relaxing patient experience, while also providing the versatility to house various physician specialties. To provide a calming atmosphere for incoming patients and their families, the waiting room was situated to allow for views of the picturesque surrounding site and to let in ample but controlled natural light. The program includes three ORs, four private pre-op rooms, six PACU bays, as well as full instrument processing facilities on site. Contributing to the versatility of the center, two of the pre-op rooms also have the ability to be converted to a post-op function for stays up to 23 hours. This project was completed as a Design-Build effort, and the design team worked hand-in-hand with the contractor throughout the design to ensure that the budget was maintained while keeping the design elements intact.
