JACA Architects, one of New England’s premier healthcare-exclusive architectural firms, announced today the recent completion of construction of the Landmark Cancer Center, located on the campus of the Rehabilitation Hospital of Rhode Island in North Smithfield, Rhode Island. The center is expected to open within the next month.
The center, designed by JACA Architects, is 14,000 square feet and is comprised of nine patient treatment areas along with two private treatment areas, as well as examination rooms, physician offices, a laboratory, and a pharmacy. Patient comfort was key to the design of the center; several patient conveniences such as individual lighting controls,Wi Fi and video control, and family support accomodations were incorporated into the plans. Natural light is also an important element of the design and is abundant throughout the space.
Landmark Medical Center was founded in 1988 upon the merging of Woonsocket Hospital and the John E. Fogarty Memorial Hospital, and was then purchased by Prime Healthcare Services of California in December 2013. This project marks one of the first new projects since the purchase. Landmark Medical Center provides healthcare services for more than 175,000 on a yearly basis.
“We are excited to see the completion of this outstanding facility,” said Tony Cavallaro, president of JACA Architects. “We are proud to contribute to the overall quality of care provided by the Landmark Cancer Center, and hope that Landmark patients will benefit greatly from the considerations designed within the center.”
