When Aultman Hospital wanted to update a 25-year-old facility at their North Canton location to meet current Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC) Standards, they engaged Hasenstab Architects to provide professional design services for the renovation.

The surgery center renovation started with space program verification and schematic design services, during which the pre / post recovery area was identified as a major focus of the renovation. The design team worked to add space program elements to meet current ASC design standards and regulatory requirements.

Key updates for this area include a nurse station with visual observation of bays, patient toilets, soiled holding, a medication room, and increased bay quantity to support projected volumes.
