Gilbert, Arizona
This is an excerpt of an article from the August 2008 edition of Architectural Record.
The completion of Banner Gateway Medical Center last September provided the growing community of Gilbert, Arizona, with what the NBBJ design team calls the “next-generation hospital.” Despite the tinge of marketing fluff, the phrase aptly describes an advanced facility dedicated to healing and nurturing robust health. Autogenesis was the term the team coined to describe the scheme’s flexibility and expandability. With floor-to-ceiling windows in public spaces and maintenance activity all but sequestered from patients’ view, Banner Gateway lives up to the promotional hyperbole. Already, less than a year after opening, the hospital’s staff has twice reconfigured the interior layout for admissions into the emergency department (entry point for 65 percent of all hospital patients). And, probably sooner than later, Gilbert’s rapid growth will test the design’s expansion capability to accommodate more than triple the number of private rooms, from 165 to 536.
