Davis Brody Bond is currently modernizing and expanding the Adult Emergency Department at New York-Presbyterian, the University Hospitals of Columbia and Cornell. These renovations will reorganize workflow toward patient-centered care, establish lasting infrastructure upgrades, and make a symbolic architectural statement while maintaining continuous operation throughout phased construction. The new design is central to implementing a Rapid Medical Evaluation system within the Adult ED, add many more triage and observation bays, and modernize equipment at one of New York City’s busiest emergency departments. An existing glass pavilion is being redesigned to serve as the new waiting room and compliment an adjoining historical structure. One visible element at Broadway and 168th street will be re-clad in limestone and glass to symbolize these changes to the neighboring community, hospital employees, and visitors. Joining together several adjacent buildings, this project overcomes the challenges of integrating infrastructure, building systems and circulation.
