Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center was to create a healing environment that complements the intense demands of trauma medicine. From a clinical perspective, the bi-directional expansion focuses on increasing capacity for the shock trauma center and the adjacent emergency and general surgery departments. From an operational perspective, the design provides the medical center with the optimal spaces and efficiencies to treat patients within the "golden hour." The new shock trauma critical care tower combines the clinical and operational priorities of the medical center into a sustainable facility that transcends expectations for patient care and comfort, access, wayfinding, and amenities in this building type.

The design solution integrates with the existing Weinberg Building but creates a dedicated entry for the shock trauma center. To maximize program space on this height-restricted urban site, the west façade cantilevers above a university street and affords an additional 2,500 square feet on each patient floor. 152 t4VQQMFNFOUUPHealthcare Design
