Conway Medical Center
Bed Wing/Administration Annex
Conway, South Carolina



 
Conway Medical Center has asked Wilkerson Associates Architects to prepare a Master Plan for their facility and address several areas of concern. The hospital requested an evaluation of all service lines in relation to the rapidly increasing demographics in the area. The Master Plan approach utilized is one of Capacity Analysis dovetailed with Facility Planning.

One important result of this Master Plan is a 3-story Bed Wing featuring 64 large, all private patient rooms to create quality patient care spaces for the staff while providing dedicated spaces for families and visitors in patient rooms and public areas. The nursing units will minimize travel distances from nursing stations to patients and supplies, maintain critical sight lines for the nursing staff, and maximize patient safety through innovative design solutions. The patient rooms are modular and can easily be retrofitted in the future should patient mix change. The overall floor plan is divided into groups of 8-bed nursing pods surrounding a central core of support areas.

Another aspect of the Master Plan, a 3-story Administration Annex, will be located across an internal drive on the campus. It will be connected to the new Bed Wing via a covered breezeway.
