Expanding and Modernizing Mother-Baby Care
Atrium Health Floyd Medical Center Mother Baby Renovation | Rome, GA
The renovation of the Mother-Baby Unit at Atrium Health Floyd Medical Center enhances the postpartum experience through larger patient rooms, modernized care environments and upgraded support spaces. The project transforms the existing West Wing third-floor postpartum unit by reconfiguring 13 aging patient rooms into 10 larger, more functional rooms that meet today's healthcare standards. Renovations also extend to the surrounding corridors and nursery, creating a welcoming, patient-centered environment for families and caregivers.
Delivering Care Without Disruption
Completed within a fully occupied healthcare facility, the renovation required meticulous planning, phased execution and close coordination to maintain uninterrupted patient care throughout construction.
Working simultaneously across multiple floors, the team successfully managed numerous planned utility shutdowns while minimizing disruption to hospital operations and maintaining a safe environment for patients, visitors and staff.
Seamlessly Phased Construction
Phase 1 renovates approximately 4,979 square feet of the North Wing to create eight temporary postpartum patient rooms, allowing care services to remain operational while construction progresses. Additional scope on the North Wing included the installation of a new rooftop air handling unit (AHU).
Phase 2 renovates approximately 5,229 square feet of the West Wing, transforming the postpartum unit with larger patient rooms, updated corridors and Nursery improvements. The project also includes new finishes and infrastructure upgrades throughout the corridor spaces.
Built by DPR Self-Perform Work
DPR self-performed the drywall, ceilings, Division 10 specialties, accessories and wall protection scopes, providing greater control over quality, schedule, safety and coordination. The project also leveraged DPR's Electrical Integrated Group (EIG) to execute the electrical scope associated with the new rooftop air handling unit, enhancing coordination across critical building systems.
Smarter Through Prefabrication
To improve installation quality, increase efficiency and reduce impacts within the occupied hospital, the team incorporated prefabricated patient headwalls and innovative framing solutions. These prefabricated elements streamlined field installation, improved quality control and helped maintain the project's demanding schedule while limiting disruption on the active campus.
