Occupying an entire wing of the University of Washington Medical Center, the 7N MedSurg unit provides versatile patient rooms designed to meet the evolving needs of lower-acuity patients. As a retrofit, the focus was on creating multifunctional spaces that can adapt over time, enhancing the hospital's capacity to respond to changing healthcare demands. Collaborating closely with hospital staff, our design team crafted 7N as a floor of adaptable rooms that support essential care. This flexibility is crucial given the challenges faced during the pandemic, like shortages of available patient beds. Upon entering 7N, patients and staff are greeted by warm wood pilasters and a cohesive design aesthetic that aligns with UWMC’s other inpatient floors. Durable, stretched fabric wall coverings provide acoustic dampening, fostering a calm environment for rest and recovery. Graphics inspired by soft morning light and water droplets connect the space to the nearby Montlake Cut, enhancing the calm, welcoming atmosphere. At the front, the nurse’s station, marked by woven wall coverings, enhances wayfinding, while a family nourishment center is equipped with kitchen appliances for visitors. Designed to function independently from other wings of the University of Washington Medical Center, 7N allows staff to access all support services within the unit. Its architecture includes flexibility for transforming the space into an isolation unit for contagious patients. Temporary walls can secure the area, and anterooms facilitate proper protective gear and disinfectant processes. The 7N MedSurg unit stands as a forward-thinking sanctuary, ready to adapt to patient needs and modern healthcare challenges.
