The Community Hospital

The Emergency Suite at The Community Hospital at Glen Cove designed and constructed 1987-1988 posed the problem of maintaining uninterrupted full service while expanding and renovating the existing space. "Swing Space" adjacent to or outside the unit was unavailable and the problem was intensified by a tight site condition.

The design concept evolved from a programmatic requirement for individual, private treatment rooms and the need to phase construction in a series of stages. Close coordination with staff, administration and facilities engineering was mandatory for success in a difficult situation. Phased asbestos removal preceded demolition and construction phases.

Other projects designed at Glen Cove included a new ambulatory surgery unit and administrative, finance/accounting areas.
