St. Rita's Graduate Medical Education (GME)
Center was designed to serve medical students
during their residency as a space to learn and
study. Each space was designed to precisely
mimic the clinical environments in an actual
hospital, with equipment and materials that
would be used in real world scenarios. Also integrated
into the design were a variety of study
spaces, uniquely designed based on their nearness
to different areas such as the simulation
suite, auditorium, and library. Several design
and construction decisions for St. Rita's GME
were based on the metaphor of a threshold.
This represents the origin of future doctors
who will use this space, learning and developing
their skills to positively impact the region.
It speaks to a new threshold of health, education,
and livelihood for both the students and
the people who live nearby. The building's ultimate
purpose is to usher in the next generation
of doctors and shift Lima, Ohio, into a destination
location for medical education and an excellent
health system.
St. Rita's GME sits on the corner of two main
streets downtown, with large windows to let in
natural light and create a bright, airy environment
inside that is reminiscent of the outdoors.
The space includes flex conference rooms, an
auditorium, a library, a computer lab, study labs,
simulation suites, open offices, and a third level
that serves as future growth space, for the everchanging
nature of medicine.
