Surgical operating room platform design

Client: Baystate Health
Location: Springfield, Massachusetts
Size: 630,000 SF
Cost: $259 million

DSG is proud to have been on the design team for Baystate's innovative, patient-centered tertiary/quaternary medical center. Specifically, DSG created the design for the interventional cardiovascular and endovascular suites in the Heart and Vascular Center. Special challenges presented themselves during design reviews, as happens with far-reaching projects. For instance, DSG responded to the perfusionists request to receive physiologic monitoring on a dedicated monitor at their equipment site where the perfusion pump is located. Additionally, DSG gave both nurse stations the ability to show and control PACs images even when there is no radiology technician in the control room.
