DEKALB MEDICAL CENTER
Women's Center and Parking Deck
Decatur, Georgia

This five-story, freestanding Women's Center located on DeKalb Medical Center's main campus offers 18 LDRs with adjacent family areas, three surgical suites, a Level III NICU, and 62 private postpartum rooms.

The interior spaces are designed to evoke a warm, home-like atmosphere with stacked stone accents, wood floors and trim, and comfortable seating.  A two-story atrium allows natural light to permeate the building's public spaces.

Patient convenience is maximized with below-grade parking and multiple covered entrances.  The entire complex is connected to the main hospital via two elevated and conditioned connectors.

The project was constructed during a period of very high construction labor and material inflation but was delivered with an overall project savings of more than $1 million.
