Harris, Fritz Architects

This Operating Room was renovated and upgraded. Operating Rooms offer unique challenges in design. From space planning and human factors to sterilization and equipment needs, Harris Fritz designed this Operating Room to exacting standards of both functionality and the highest quality.

This state-of-the-art fitness and rehabilitation center is managed and operated by Fayette Community Hospital. Because patients are often in a stationary position for extended periods of time, bright, lively colors and unique geometric shapes were used in order to create a visually stimulating environment. The colors and textures of selected finishes help to define the functionality of different areas. Specific shapes were selected in order to influence a visual tie with Fayette Community Hospital.

While trying to create a more efficient facility, travel paths such as hallways and corridors are often overlooked. However, they are of vital importance. Harris Fritz designs these paths to meet the needs of those using them. By carefully selecting color schemes, adding additional lighting, and accommodating for items permanently located in these areas the design becomes conducive to a comfortable and effective work environment.

In order for a staff to be efficient, their needs are addressed. The break room is designed to promote a relaxing and social environment.

The shell and interiors were designed by Harris, Fritz & Associates, Inc. Interior design consists of vinyl wall coverings and porcelain tile. Chrome and glass were used in order to reflect the state-of-the-art image that Siemens is known for. The furniture and artwork were meticulously chosen for this regional headquarters.

Laboratories are an integral part of any hospital and the design must reflect that importance. Ample work areas, ventilation, integration of technology, storage, waste disposal, and security were all vital concerns in the design.

Often, our first impressions are the lasting ones. This is why the renovation of Fayette Community Hospital's Lobby was carefully designed. The lobby is now a welcoming environment to patients and staff alike. Precision woodwork and carefully designed accents, curves and lighting create a warm and caring environment.

Diagnostic equipment areas such as Mammography must be designed with several factors in mind. Not only do we create a space that accommodates the necessary equipment, but the comfort of the patient and the care giver is also considered.
