Healthcare Design - April 2016 - 34
A matter of choice
Traditionally, rehab lengths of stay range from a few
days to two weeks for non-traumatic orthopedic,
cardiovascular, and neurological diagnoses to several
months at long-term acute care centers, serving
traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord injury
populations. And there's usually some choice involved
in where patients spend their time, with visits to rehabilitation centers often made in advance of an elective
surgery; even rehab stays following unexpected
traumatic events are frequently planned out while the
patient is still in an acute care hospital.
"Patients have more of a choice of where they can
go. Facilities are having to design so that they are able
to say, 'We have this, this, and that,'" says Brenna
Costello, principal and medical planner with SmithGroupJJR (Phoenix). SmithGroupJJR, with RTA Architects (Colorado Springs, Colo.) as architect of record,
designed an 88,000-square-foot addition to an existing rehabilitation center as part of a two-building campus unification for Craig Hospital. The addition, which
broke ground in 2013, has opened in phases, starting
in 2014, and includes renovation of a 135,000-squarefoot building with completion expected this year.
"Everyone's going to have their own checklist
of requirements regarding therapy, spaces, the
continuum of care," Costello says. "I'd like to say,
'No matter what, the care comes first'; but in the last
10 years, we're seeing a preference among patients
and families for a calming place to recover, not just a
'machine' to deliver care."

center for individuals with spinal and neurologic
disabilities, is housed in a two-story space at the north
end of an addition to Craig Hospital in Englewood, Colo.
Designer SmithGroupJJR and architect of record RTA
Architects gave it prominence by locating the center
next to a new front entry and providing a dramatic,
curved curtainwall. Extended mullion caps, fins, and
high-performance glazing on the east and west patient
room windows reduce solar gain and glare, which can
be disorienting for Craig's patient population. Above:
By closing off an existing street, designers were able to
create a welcoming pedestrian plaza at Craig Hospital,
achieving a more cohesive campus as well as a new
vehicular drop-off and a private entry for inpatients. The
plaza contains planters for horticulture therapy, a slightly
pitched walkway, and varied-height walls to allow patients
to practice wheelchair transfers.
