Hasenstab Architects provided architectural and interior design services for a 258 bed, 297,876 square foot regional psychiatric facility – Northcoast Behavioral Healthcare. The project is a campus consolidation, replacing aging hospital buildings on two campuses and merging services onto a single campus site at the existing Sagamore Hills facility. After an initial site preparation phase, new additions of approximately 200,000 square feet were added to unite the three existing buildings into a single, contiguous facility.

Eight new patient units were added for a total of 10 patient units to serve the facility. Each unit includes: 18 private rooms with private bathrooms, four semi-private rooms, centralized nurses’ stations, a patient dining room, open living spaces, group rooms, consultation spaces, an intensive care room, an exam room, patient laundry, residential courtyard and direct access to support staff space. This design incorporates the best aspects of an On-Unit Treatment Concept while providing limited, but enhanced off-unit experiences. The new facility also has a dedicated admissions space with holding bays, exam rooms and processing area.
