Cleveland Regional Medical Center
Emergency Department
Shelby, North Carolina


Trauma Nurse Station


This is a major expansion to the Emergency Department at Cleveland Regional Medical Center to allow for increasing volumes and to provide additional privacy and confidentiality for patients. Wilkerson Associates worked very closely with their consultant to “right-size” the new ED to reach the square footage that was appropriate and ample for projected volumes and through-put.

New construction for the ED includes a new ambulance entrance, 24 exam rooms with 2 large dedicated trauma rooms, 4 additional trauma bays, 6 universal rooms, 12 exam rooms, 2 psych holding rooms, and a large central nurse station with visualization of the exam rooms. The new ambulance entrance can accommodate 6 emergency vehicles and a helipad is part of the new construction. This ED can accommodate a high volume should there ever be a catastrophic event.

The construction of the new ED space allowed the existing ED to move in and the vacated space is now being renovated. Renovation in the existing ED includes a new fast-track unit with 10 fast-track rooms, nurse station, waiting areas, administration, and discharge planning waiting area. Three new triage rooms will be added.
