Modern Cancer Facility
The Cancer Pavilion is a groundbreaking fusion of healthcare functionality and soothing design skillfully crafted by CDI Solutions. This state-of-the-art addition to an existing physician office building expands the campus's capabilities and offers a holistic environment to improve patient care and staff efficiency. This facility is at the forefront of modern cancer care with essential cancer treatment services, including advanced imaging, oncology physician suites, a cutting-edge medical linear accelerator (LINAC) for radiotherapy, and custom-designed infusion therapy suites.
Enhanced Treatment Experience
The core design principle focuses on reducing the physical and psychological burdens of treatment. Through a strategic layout, CDI Solutions decreased the average clinical team's walking distance by 36%, significantly reducing the time per patient encounter. This efficiency enhances patient care by allowing the medical staff to dedicate more time to everyone, ultimately improving the overall treatment experience.
Upon entering the pavilion, patients and visitors are greeted by a light-filled lobby where nature-inspired materials promote a sense of calm and well-being. Warm wood paneling and millwork, terrazzo flooring, wood ceilings, and earth-toned walls create a serene atmosphere. The carefully selected finishes emphasize the importance of a healthy environment, with biophilic design elements creating a direct connection to nature. Local artwork celebrating the region's natural beauty further enriches the space.
Peaceful, Private Spaces
Recognizing the importance of privacy, custom millwork at registration desks and wood wall panel dividers with integrated acoustical properties help maintain confidentiality while contributing to a peaceful environment. Personal waiting areas ensure privacy for patients and families, offering a respite in the hospital's public setting. Intuitive wayfinding solutions achieved seamless integration with the existing hospital facilities, allowing patients to easily navigate between buildings. This thoughtful design reduces stress for both first-time and returning patients.
Safe, Durable Design
Lighting design plays a crucial role in defining the pavilion’s various spaces. A blend of natural and artificial light sources personalizes each area, creating a calming atmosphere conducive to healing. Light control measures, such as multiple light sources and window treatments, mitigate glare and reduce the clinical feel of medical spaces, further enhancing comfort. The infusion therapy suites are designed with patient comfort and privacy in mind. Each private bay includes seating for patients and guests, individual entertainment options, and charging stations, fostering a sense of normalcy and relaxation during treatment. Durability and hygiene were paramount in selecting finishes, particularly in surgical and high-traffic areas. Specialized materials like heat-welded sheet vinyl with an integral flash cove base ensure the highest health and safety standards, supporting a clean and safe environment for patients and staff.
Redefining Healthcare Spaces
The Cancer Pavilion is more than just a medical facility—it is a space of hope and healing. By integrating advanced medical technologies, biophilic design, and thoughtful details aimed at enhancing the patient experience, CDI Solutions has set a new standard for healthcare environments. This project reflects the firm’s commitment to innovative healthcare design and its dedication to creating spaces that positively impact the lives of those they serve.
