Rochester, NY | Ballinger, 2007

This planning study conducted for the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) sought to address a serious issue of overcrowding at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester. Faced with a constrained site, a phased replacement strategy was devised starting with a new adult and pediatric bed tower above a procedural base containing new imaging facilities. Lower floor-to-floor heights, FAA height restrictions, and municipal setbacks were all considered in several schemes.
