With potential land acquisitions that would nearly double the hospital�s usable acreage, CHRISTUS St. Frances needed a new master campus plan. The plan laid out a road map for long-term growth of the campus as well as address short term needs of the hospital expanding women and children�s services and the emergency department.
This project was to celebrate life and services that embrace multiple generations, from genesis to the aged. The design concept was inspired by the hospital�s mission which is rooted in Christian values. The architectonics and materials respond to the architectural vernacular and climate of the region.
The new bed tower includes an emergency department and a new Women and Children�s Program, which includes Outpatient Women�s Services, a birthing suite, NICU and Pediatrics. Incorporation of natural light and access to the outdoors was a priority for CHRISTUS St. Frances. The emergency department features a dedicated healing garden for patient, family and staff, and an outdoor landscaped mall which is easily accessed from any where in the campus.
CHRISTUS St. Frances� position in the market as a healthcare leader in Central Louisiana has strengthened. The architecture reflects the hospital�s commitment to compassionate healthcare in a welcoming and healing environment.
