A bold expansion to the existing Baton Rouge General Medical Center, the Medical OFfice Building blends the classic brick and precast facades of the existing campus with contemporary new finishes of curtain-wall glass and metal panel.
The new expansion blends seamlessly with the existing campus, expanding services and paving the way for future avenues of growth.
The Internal Colonnade provides a light-filled climate-controlled connection to the existing hospital. Light from the colonnade is captured and filtered to the interior spaces through plantings, wood slat screens and an art glass wall.
Elements from the existing campus such as rich wood textures, terrazzo and planting design combine with new elments unique to the expansion, including contemporary lighting, metal panels, and glass railing to create an inviting entry lobby for the new expansion. New digital wayfinding signs, installed throughout the campus, provide information and directions to patients.
The physician’s entrance on the west side of the building features a vertical glass lobby featuring expansive views towards downtown Baton Rouge. Interlocking forms of the building tie it in seamlessly with the existing campus while still maintaining its own identity.
