DEKALB MEDICAL
CENTER at HILLANDALE
Lithonia, Georgia
The third hospital in the
DeKalb Medical Center system opened July 18, 2005 as the
first all-digital hospital in Georgia. The six-story
facility includes 100 patient rooms, a 22-bay emergency
department, five operating suites, and women and infants
services. The existing laboratory and radiology departments
were also enlarged and renovated to operate more efficiently
and effectively, and to handle the increased volumes from
hospital patients.
Designed to evoke a warm healing and homelike environment,
the interior includes natural stone accents, fireplaces, and
bookcases.
The project's preconstruction services phase serves as a
model in terms of positive outcomes created through
teamwork, attention to detail, and execution. The project
team was able to hold to the original budget despite
repeated delays while the hospital awaited State approval to
proceed with the project. The team’s efforts to review and
coordinate the construction documents paid off handsomely in
terms of significantly reduced drawing errors and omissions,
fewer conflicts with medical equipment, and minimal
construction change orders.
