West Boca Medical Center is a Women’s
and Childrens Hospital. To continue to
develop their offerings in this service
line, they wanted to add a new Women’s
and Children Tower.
The new tower accommodates a range
of services for the Hospital most of which
is ante-partum. The tower adds 37,700
square feet to the existing Hospital
campus which was under a strict square
footage quota dictated by a legacy
master plan.
The new tower was designed as three
floors with future vertical expansion for a
fourth to better align with other patient
towers on campus. The first floor program
includes a new 32 bed well-baby
nursery and 8 LDR(P) rooms. The second
and third floors include private patient
rooms and associated support spaces
including child play area.
The new tower has a dedicated entry and
secure, but direct access via elevator to
the two patient floors above. This allows
the Hospital to ‘brand’ itself formally
as a Women’s and Children’s Center of
Excellence.
