Located in Bradenton, Florida, the south wing of the hospital was converted from an administrative wing to an extension of the existing psychiatric unit. The 2,900 square-foot renovation includes three (3) double occupancy bedrooms, one (1) single occupancy handicapped accessible bedroom, nurse’s station, dayroom and cafe.
The goal of the overall design was to create a comfortable, home-like environment for the patients. This was accomplished by introducing natural light to the areas where both patients and staff spend most of the time working and interacting with each other. Each double occupancy rooms have a desk area with a view of the outside, movable curtains for privacy if needed and a vanity area. Details such as custom designed shelves, shoe racks and foot lockers were also incorporated to give each patient a sense that the space is their own, while sound absorbing panels add another level of privacy for patients.
Our second project for Centerstone of Florida is another addition to their existing building. This time, Centerstone is expanding their Crisis Center with the addition of a south wing with three new 2-bed rooms with adjacent bathrooms and a dayroom, and two additional bedrooms and adjacent bathrooms to the existing east and west wings. Furthermore, the scope of the project also encompasses upgrading the existing Crisis Center, which includes a new Nurses Station to accommodate the growing facility, renovation of existing rooms and exterior areas, and addition of a play yard. The addition phase culminated in July 2017, and renovation of the existing Crisis Center continued for the rest of the year.
