In the fall of 2015, Children’s National Medical Center embarked on a project to renovate and reimagine their existing sub‐divided child and adolescent behavioral health inpatient unit at their main hospital campus in Washington, DC. This unit was land‐locked by other existing programs, divided in two by a public corridor, and was struggling to find space for all the patients needing care in the immediate catchment. CNMC leadership hired Array Architects to help fulfill their vision for how they wanted to provide care for this special mix of patients while bringing their dated unit up to code and current best practice in behavioral health.

This webinar will tell their story and participants will learn how, through a phased project approach,  the team allowed for flexibility and growth for the future.

 

Learning Objectives

  • Learn how the planning and design allowed for flexibility and growth as well as shared services from both the child and adolescent behavioral health units.
  • Understand how the vision of the leadership at CNMC was implemented to create a state‐of‐the‐art design that meets the client’s needs.
  • Identify how the patient mix at CNMC created design challenges and opportunities that where unique to this overall project.
  • Understand how the unit is performing and outcomes of post occupancy study.

Thanks to our Sponsor Partners:

 

Many attendees of The Center for Health Design’s webinars have inquired about IDCEC approval so they can earn ASID, IIDA, and IDS CEU’s. We have looked into this and unfortunately, the cost to upload courses to IDCEC is simply too high at this time. You can still earn credit for attending our webinars by requesting a verification certificate, starting July 9, 2020, The Center for Health Design will start charging a CEU management fee for verification certificates for all webinars and EBD Journal Clubs. Please contact Natalie Gonzalez, Project Manager, ngonzalez@healthdesign.org for further details about how to self-report CEUs to IDCEC, please CLICK HERE.
