In an era of rapid evolution in the healthcare industry, SmithGroup understood the need to create a facility that is both functional and beautiful—providing a new space that would represent a departure from the institutional feel and design of older medical facilities and hospitals. Not only does the new Milford emergency department and ICU boast the latest cutting-edge technology and services, but the expansion also has a more contemporary aesthetic while integrating into the hospital’s beautiful natural surroundings.
The completed Milford Emergency Department and Intensive Care Unit expansion is not just a medical facility for the future, but it is one that the community can be proud of and feel confident in getting the very best treatment.
Patient rooms feature large windows, allowing in healing natural lighting and views of the grounds.
In the ICU, high-tech chromatic glass can be made opaque at the push of a button — eliminating privacy curtains that can harbor infectious germs.
The Milford expansion also features a rooftop deck and landscaped terraces, offering patients, family and staff a serene environment to focus on the holistic well-being of all users of the facility.
