To create room for the expanded NICU, including a dedicated Neonatal MRI (3 Tesla), one the first in the United States, the project required the relocation and expansion of the Maternity program that includes 14 Labor and Delivery Rooms, 14 Maternal (Fetal Medicine) Special Care Rooms for women with high-risk pregnancies, 12-room triage and C-Section recovery suite, and a 3-room C-Section Suite with a large neonatal resuscitation room to stabilize the tiny patient prior to moving them to the new neonatal intensive care units.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Our team was faced with the challenge of keeping the hospital operational during the renovation of four floors over multiple sequential construction phases, coupled with Yale New Haven Hospital\u2019s unexpected change to key hospital staff and restructuring of the NICU\u2019s operational processes. Significant design revisions were developed collaboratively to keep the construction moving.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

The project design team and contractors relocated on-site full time to develop these revisions for approval to maintain the critical project schedule. The NICU patient room and nurse stations were redesigned using extensive on-site design sessions that were conducted in a collaborative think-tank process. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n

Detailed room mockups of the final patient room and headwall design were built, edited and re-built to incorporate feedback from physicians, nurses, IT, epidemiologists, patient advocates, architects, engineers, and contractors. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n Our vision to create a bright, spacious, unprecedented intensive care unit across two floors is now a reality and serves as a national model for others.
