University of Virginia Hospital Expansion Featured in Architectural Record’s Healthcare Issue

Part of the emergency department was able to open two months early to treat COVID-19 patients during the first wave of infections.

Visitors are welcomed into a bright, airy atrium with plenty of natural light.

The expansion of the University of Virginia Hospital in Charlottesville was thoughtfully planned and efficiently delivered: so much so that when COVID-19 began to spread in central Virginia in the spring of 2020, the hospital was able to make quick modifications to serve this new need.

"Within a plinth below the tower is the heart of the structure: the new ED nearly doubles UVA Health System’s prior urgent-care capacity, significantly reducing patient wait times."

The new emergency department entrance welcomes patients and visitors with a landscaped pedestrian walkway.

Natural light and views to the outdoors throughout the treatment areas improve well being for patients and staff.
