Location: Birmingham, AL

Project Size: 27,648 SF

Completion Date: November 2022

In this small but mighty project, we upgraded the CT room with new finishes, new equipment, and a refreshed layout to better serve the clinicians, and therefore, the patients. The limited real estate in this land-locked room (surrounded by corridors on 3 sides) provided an opportunity for our design team to collaborate with the end users to reconfigure their storage solutions. The control room benefited most from a new arrangement of millwork at the staff’s working areas.

The CT room is part of a series of renovations at UAB’s Kirklin Clinic Acton Road facility focused on their radiation oncology department.⠀

We were able to support UAB’s vision of providing industry-leading/state-of-the-art treatment options for their radiation oncology patients through:

  • An updated color palette emphasizing neutrals and earth tones, while giving a subtle nod to UAB’s institutional branding.⠀

  • Lighter hued finishes to visually open the space and complement the clever use of swooping, curvilinear wall and flooring patterns to bring a dynamic quality to a previously static space.⠀

  • Modernized finishes that prioritize aesthetics while maintaining clinical requirements for cleanliness required in healthcare applications.

  • Imaging equipment that dialogues with radiation treatment equipment, providing an integrated, wholistic approach to oncology treatment.

  • A variety of storage options for medical supplies and specialized equipment to provide maximum flexibility within a compact space.
