A group of seven physicians observed Wichita’s need to quickly accommodate ER patients, in which the idea of a new emergency department was born. The Freestanding Ambulatory Surgery Center for Kansas Medical Center in Andover, KS consisted of the construction of the new 13,774-square-foot standalone surgical center. The facility contains 6 operating rooms, 15 pre-operative and postoperative areas, including on-site sterile processing space.
GLMV designed this 10,000-square-foot standalone emergency facility, and provided construction administration, interior design, landscape architecture, and project management to the build. The facility includes ten exam rooms, diagnostics, and a trauma care center. The facility is designed to expand with four additional high-acuity rooms. Implementation of high-end finishes, open spaces, and large amounts of daylighting helped to create a more hospitality-centered environment.

The physician-owned Kansas Medical Center sought architects with hospital expertise who could understand the needs of caregivers and patients alike, while integrating state-of-the-art healthcare technology. Project collaboration resulted in a building combining function and dramatic form.
Inspired by the need to extend emergency medical care, Kansas Medical Center’s Freestanding Emergency Department provides emergency care and radiology services to a growing population. GLMV worked closely with Kansas Medical Center staff to implement high-end finishes, open spaces, and large amounts of daylighting to create a more hospitality-centered environment.
