Under a $360 million revitalization plan, a new 136,000 square foot multi-service ambulatory care center will be constructed, and the existing hospital tower and support buildings renovated. The new ambulatory care center contains a walk in clinic, outpatient surgery and more than a dozen specialty outpatient clinics. The updated hospital has 120 beds as well as emergency, imaging, and surgery services.

SKA supported the team through design development. SKA addressed project identification, vehicular directional, informational kiosks, exterior building identification, interior directional and area identification, as well as all code-required signs and maps.

The sign program was captured in the project’s scoping documents, which were delivered to a design/build contractor for completion.
