A kitchen area with stainless steel appliances is visible on the left, and a large green living wall serves as a backdrop on the right. White round tables with blue chairs are scattered throughout the space. Three people are working or conversing in the room - one at a side table, two seated together, and another working on a laptop. The room combines natural elements with contemporary design, featuring wood-tone flooring and a large flat-screen TV on the wall.

Modern hospital patient room with a large window with a first floor view of the hospital's exterior. A white and blue adjustable hospital bed is on the left side of the room, with medical equipment and controls nearby. A teal accent wall provides color contrast, and a yellow sofa sits beneath the window. A green leaf-patterned wall adds a natural element to the right side of the room. The space is bright, clean, and designed to be both functional and comforting.

Industrial mechanical room with complex piping and equipment. Multiple large metal tanks and control panels are interconnected by an intricate network of white, silver, and copper pipes. Fluorescent lighting illuminates the dense array of industrial machinery, valves, and electrical control systems. The floor is a smooth gray surface. The space is a highly technical mechanical or utility infrastructure room and reflects BSA's expertise in engineering.

Electrical equipment room with multiple grey control panels and switchboards. Numerous electronic displays and control interfaces are mounted in rows. Colored cables and conduits run along the ceiling, and there's a narrow walkway between the equipment panels. The room has an industrial, technical appearance with white walls and a concrete floor.

This new standalone hospital in Gas City, Indiana, represents a significant healthcare facility expansion, strengthening Marion Health’s commitment to accessible medical care. As a leading healthcare architecture firm, our focus was on creating a state-of-the-art hospital building design that meets the needs of an underserved community. Our innovative healthcare design integrates sustainable building design, advanced MEP engineering solutions, and patient-centered care.

The hospital planning and design reflect Grant County’s industrial heritage, while seamlessly integrating healing environments and sustainable healthcare architecture. Our healthcare architects, engineers, and interior designers worked collaboratively to create a space that blends modern medical facility design with the calming presence of nature. Together, modern design and elements of nature are proven to enhance both patient care and staff efficiency.

Designed as a patient-centered environment, this 113,000-square-foot, 4-story hospital incorporates advanced healthcare engineering solutions to support efficient hospital operations. The facility offers comprehensive orthopedic and spine services, including surgical suites, rehabilitation spaces, and outpatient clinics. Additionally, the hospital interior design ensures a hospitality-like atmosphere for patient experience and provider workflow.

Finally, key hospital building design features include:

Integrated healthcare solutions with ambulatory services, family practice, and multi-specialty outpatient clinics
Emergency department with a helipad, radiology, and laboratory services
Sustainable building design, balancing energy efficiency with maintainable MEP engineering solutions
Flexible infrastructure for future expansions, supporting the region’s growing healthcare needs

This project underscores our expertise in innovative healthcare design, hospital system design, and healthcare MEP engineering, providing a cutting-edge healthcare environment that elevates patient outcomes and community well-being.
