Oakland Regional Hospital
Orthopedics and Rehabilitative Services
Southfield, Michigan

The focus of Oakland Regional Hospital is wellness-based featuring orthopedics and rehabilitative services. The four operating room surgical center drives this vision. The center and its support functions occupy the fifth floor. The roof was raised to accommodate high ceilings and mechanical space required for modern operating rooms. The rooms are oversized to allow for the widest variety of surgical cases. Support and staff areas are in close proximity to increase staff efficiency while reducing fatigue in the fast-paced surgery arena.

The renovated third and fourth floors house a combination of private and semi-private rooms. Staff and visitor areas are present on each floor minimizing transport disruptions to patients and staff.

The second floor contains in and outpatient rehabilitation therapy functions; new, large and open gym spaces with views to the outside. All support and staff areas are integrated into the design to maximize staff efficiency and patient comfort.

Functions located on the first floor include outpatient clinics, radiology with mobile MRI/CT Scan port, pharmacy, dietary, administrative and central registration. All departments and functions were reconfigured in an effort to streamline operations, increase patient satisfaction/comfort and maximize efficiency.

The last component of this project was the exterior building and site upgrades. An entire building facade renovation replaced the old worn-out materials and dramatically increased the curb appeal of the facility. The expanded drive-under canopy has more of a hospitality look as opposed to an institutional look. Renovated parking and landscape areas provide the finishing touch to this undertaking, leaving the facility in a strong position to increase capacity and presence as a major healthcare provider.
