The University of South Alabama engaged GMC to design a state-of-the-art Freestanding Emergency Department and Imaging Suite. Spanning 21,000 square feet, the facility encompasses essential operational areas, featuring a covered entry vestibule, check-in counter, spacious waiting lobby, treatment rooms, covered ambulance drop-off and dedicated physician and nurse stations, among other ancillary support spaces to best serve the community.
Freestanding emergency departments are a relatively new concept in Alabama, with only a handful operating in in the state. With rapid residential growth in West Mobile and Mobile County, the 24/7 emergency facility offers convenient access to care as part of the region’s only academic health system. It is staffed by board-certified emergency medicine physicians and equipped to give the best care.
The advanced imaging suite boasts its own separate entry/waiting area and check-in facility, equipped with CT scan, ultra-sound, X-Ray, MRI and mammogram imaging capabilities. Noteworthy amenities include a fully equipped pharmacy, laboratory and EMS lounge. There are a total of 15 treatment rooms, complemented by two triage rooms, an airborne isolation room, and a designated trauma room. The state-of-the-art facility provides care for those who live and work in west Mobile with convenient access to the most advanced emergency and diagnostic care available in the region.
GMC is one of the most comprehensive multi-disciplined architecture and engineering firms in the Southeast.
