Completed in 2018, the Washington Hospital Healthcare System Replacement Hospital is a four-story, 240,000 square foot acute care facility designed to support high-performance clinical care within a healing, patient-centered environment. The hospital brings together an Emergency Department, Cardiac Center, ICU/CCU suites, surgery and patient rooms, and essential support services into a cohesive and efficient plan shaped through detailed programming and site-responsive design.

Driven by both resilience and experience, the building features a base-isolated structural system to ensure continued operation following major seismic events. The building design involved a rigorous study of solid and void, using natural light, landscaped courtyards, and integrated vegetation to blur the boundary between interior and exterior spaces. These strategies create vibrant, restorative environments that support patient recovery and staff well-being, while contributing the project’s LEED Silver certification.
