This 100,000 s.f. expansion of the Lafayette General Medical Center on a very congested site includes a state-of-art Surgical Platform, Emergency Department expansion and a new parking garage. Each operating room is identical and generously sized to accommodate any type of surgery. A large ribbon window wall lines the surgery corridor on the second level bathing it with light. The metal clad exterior skin is segmented and curved to provide a distinct high-tech architectural image decreasing the scale of this huge addition from the street corner.

It also includes a 10 story trauma elevator serving the rooftop helipad. The second floor building mass is extended to provide Covered ambulance drop bays and provide a covered connection from the parking garage to the Main Lobby Entrance
