The UMC ER Expansion and Renovation encompassed 13,000 SF of space and was broken into two phases. Included in this project were 24 new treatment rooms, 5 new triage rooms, 13 new treatment bays, a new covered ambulance and patient entry, a new reception, waiting and critical waiting areas. Nurse's stations, physicians' lounges, offices, and support spaces were also part of the renovation. In addition, the project also included a clean and soiled utility, an imaging area, psych evaluation rooms, and a separate area for treatment of the incarcerated. The exterior is aluminum composite panels, brick, and burnished block CMU. This project was constructed inside/adjacent to the existing ER, which has to remain operational 24/7.
