Being part of a 53 year old hospital, with, perhaps, one of the best reputations for patient care, Ben Taub in one of only two Level 1 Trauma Centers in Houston. The Emergency Center requires renovation in order to create efficient flows both within the department and with the rest of the hospital.
The major goal, as well as challenge for Johnston, was to take the existing infrastructure into consideration while transforming the current inefficient design into a space that increases efficiency and throughput within the EC to help support the new ORs and the new supporting Surgical Suite, while minimizing the phases required in order to keep the EC operational at all times.
