Healthcare Design - August 2023 - 54

HEALTHCARE DESIGN SHOWCASE
COMMUNITY HOSPITAL
AHN Wexford Hospital
Wexford, Pa.
SUBMITTED BY: HKS INC. (WASHINGTON, D.C.)
With the goal of bringing healthcare closer to
home, Allegheny Health Network Wexford
Hospital offers a wide spectrum of advanced,
patient-centered services to the Pittsburg suburb
of Wexford, Pa.
The project team worked with a broad set of
stakeholders to develop value-based targeted
outcomes with measurable results. These metrics
guided each design decision, including strategies
for reducing wait and recovery time, staff
fatigue and turnover, medical errors, operating
costs, and energy consumption.
The project creatively responds to the constraints
of the site while integrating with the
existing Health and Wellness pavilion to create
a comprehensive campus environment. The
long, linear massing of the hospital presents a
bold new face to the campus, maximizing visibility
and brand identity along the main arterial
roadway. The building massing is split between
a lower solid podium block set into the hillside
and a contrasting glass bed tower that dramatically
extends over the smaller podium. Programs
requiring no to little daylight are located in the
stone-clad podium, while the patient rooms and
amenity programs take advantage of extensive
daylighting and connections to nature.
A choregraphed sequence of connected public
spaces reinforces continuous connections to
nature. Above the main entrance, the dramatic
wood-clad cantilever uses a first-of-its-kind
structural system. The lobby is filled with natural
light and views to the exterior, while providing
a home-like feel with natural materials, warm
tones, and a stone fireplace. A connecting stair
offers a direct connection to surgery waiting and
meditation room, and conference, dining, and
garden court beyond.
