Bayou Bend Hospital Renovation and Addition (In Progress)

DonahueFavret Was selected through a public CMAR process for this challenging hospital project. This 8,960 square foot project involves a phased renovation and addition to an operating hospital. The project utilized a 6-month collaborative preconstruction effort in which the team determined phasing / logistics, early procurement items as well as value engineering considerations due to budget constraints.

In Phase 1, the focus is on enhancing the existing reception area to create a more open, inviting, and hospitable main entry for visitors. Additionally, segments of the adjacent inpatient physical therapy department will be revamped to accommodate two pre-op admitting offices and waiting areas for outpatient services. The existing hospital will undergo expansions, including the construction of two new operating rooms, one endoscopy room, and six new PACU patient bays. Concurrently, new SPD and ancillary support areas will be incorporated as needed. The existing sterile processing, endoscopy, and scope processing rooms will either be relocated to expansion areas or renovated.

Moving on to Phase 2, an adjacent addition is planned to house a new MRI suite, complete with a control room, patient vestibule, and equipment rooms. Furthermore, a covered patient discharge canopy will be installed between the MRI and PACU additions. Simultaneously, a new generator will be provided at the Bayou Bend Wellness Center. This generator will be connected to both the Wellness Center and the nearby BBHS hospital facility, enhancing the overall infrastructure and ensuring operational continuity.
