Lankenau Hospital Wynnewood, Pennsylvania Years of remodeling can have detrimental consquences for hospitals. For this reason, Lankenau Hospital, in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, an acute-care hospital founded in 1860, recently asked Francis Cauffman Foley Hoffmann Architects to develop a strategic operations plan to chart a new path. As a result, the firm s effective expansion projects, part of a 310,000-square foot master plan implementation, are having an immediate impact on operations. The new Emergency Department, for example, occupies a larger and more advanced facility that can handle up to 45,000 cases a year. Two 30-bed Rosengarten acute care units have been dramatically transformed into a state-ofthe-art, patient-centered, 32,600-square foot environment. And the redesigned main lobby and main corridor now form a clear, sunny connection between hospital and medical office buildings, telling doctors and patients that Lankenau is ready to grow.

The Heart and Cancer Center at Albert Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia, Pennsylvania As a respected teaching hospital serving the Philadelphia community, Albert Einstein Medical Center takes a long-term view of its facilities. Accordingly, the recent consolidation of out patient services in an 80,000-square foot space and the construction of a new, 36,000-square foot Heart and Cancer Center, both designed by Francis Cauffman Foley H o f f m a n n Architects, represent but one phase of a master plan involving 326,000 square feet of space that lets Einstein respond to the changing needs of physicians and patients. Indeed, the project has produced an advanced Heart Center with four catheterization laboratories and one electrophysiology laboratory with digital recording and archiving, and a state-ofthe-art Cancer Center with a chemotherapy suite alongside patient examination rooms and resource center. Equally important, the project has reduced operating costs and updated the utility plant attracting more physicians and patients to Einstein. Left: Lobby. Below: Canopy and entrance.

Photography: Don Pearse. When people in northeastern Pennsylvania look to Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, in Wilkes-Barre, for medical services, cardiovascular patients can expect outstanding care from the new, freestanding, 50,000 square foot, threestory Heart Hospital, designed by Francis Cauffman Foley Hoffmann Architects. The Hospital provides complete cardiovascular services, including a cardiology clinic and cardiac rehabilitation facility on level I, an in/out - patient, non-invasive diagnostic area with vascular echo/ekg and stress testing laboratories on level II, and a 10-bed inpatient step down unit and cardiac catherization laboratory on level III. Its organization is driven by horizontal connections to the existing Medical Center supporting the cardiovascular program, highlighted by direct circulation links on level II. Yet the handsome Modernist glass-and-brick structure has a presence of its own that must please the two million residents of the Wyoming Valley region, who once traveled from as far away as Maryland for treatment. 142

Nearly 50 years after the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany, New York, founded the teaching hospital in Camden, New Jersey now known as Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center, the strength of their commitment is manifested in such facilities as the new, 147,000-square foot, sevenstory Critical Care Building, designed by Francis Cauffman Foley Hoffmann Architects. This latest addition to the existing campus houses a 32-bed medical/surgical unit, two 21-bed critical care units, two new operating rooms, two new catherization/ electrophysiology laboratories, new emergency department for 50,000 visits/year, new 6-bed CVU, 15-bed PACU and ASU with three procedural rooms, new 15,000-square foot School of Nursing, and renovated and expanded surgery suite. Commenting on its modern, effective and patient-friendly environment, Kim Barnes, administrator of planning and business development for Lourdes Health System, says, "We are thrilled with the creative solutions Francis Cauffman came up with for seemingly insurmountable problems." 143

Photography: Don Pearse. A toy train theme takes children on a symbolic journey to dupont at Jefferson Pediatrics in Philadelphia's Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. This new, 32,000-square foot pediatric facility, designed by Francis Cauffman Foley Hoffmann Architects, exemplifies the affiliation of Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, founded in 1825, with dupont Hospital for Children that operates a regional system of pediatric care. The facility, which encompasses examination space for pediatric generalists and specialists, rehabilitation and oncology suites, physicians' offices and a suite for the Department of Pediatrics, is a modular scheme developed in just 16 weeks that nevertheless provides both a highly functional environment and a reassuring sense of place for children and families. Using such basic materials as drywall, vinyl tile, carpet, aluminum awnings and rails, wood doors and trim, and bright, playful graphics, dupont leads children and families down a"streetscape" of activities that is as easy and fun to follow as a toy train. 144
