Gresham Smith designed the Baptist Health Hospital with expanding services in Doral, Florida.

Seeking to expand their patient services and presence in the growing suburbs of Miami, Baptist Health South Florida tasked Gresham Smith with providing architecture and interior design for a full-service hospital and emergency department in Doral, Florida. Our team designed a 43,000-square-foot facility that gives patients easy access first-class healthcare.

The two-story building includes an emergency department on the first floor, complete with an ambulance drop-off and imaging center equipped with technology for x-rays, CT scans and MRIs. The second floor resembles a more traditional hospital setting, with 15 patient rooms, exam rooms, physician offices and a pharmacy. Additionally, two operating rooms are equipped with Da Vinci robotic technology to assist with minimally invasive surgeries.

Nurse stations are located in center of each floor for increased visibility and efficient operations. In the emergency department, patients are organized by acuity level, with low acuity patients in the front and high acuity patients in the back, which will allow functions to flex based on demand.
