The planning for the new North Carolina Heart & Vascular Hospital included consolidating the multiple specialized heart services from several different locations, according to an article on the Medical Construction & Design website.
The 306,400-square-foot Raleigh facility brings together all cardiac services under one roof, comprising five bed floors and a three-story diagnostic and treatment building connected to the existing hospital.
The design focuses on amenities, Lean design, reducing/eliminating offsite parking, expanding an existing walking trail network and reinforcing the hospital’s identity within the community.
The facility has a hotel-like concierge greeting guests and patients, a rehab facility that overlooks a garden and a spiritual space with local art.
