Belcher Health Sciences Pavilion

Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center embarked on expansion projects totaling $425 million, with a goal of nearly doubling the size of the suburban campus. This 240,000-SF medical office building was the first major building to be realized from the facilities master plan. It is connected to two pavilions and a dedicated parking structure by enclosed conditioned walkways and was designed to house physicians’ offices, outpatient services, and a hospital administrative suite. Fit-out included the medical center’s Health Sciences Institute, which provides space for physician and staff education in lecture rooms, classrooms, and a 400-seat auditorium. Other fit-out design included the Breast Center; a gift shop and café; comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation facilities; and spaces for diagnostic imaging, women’s care and obstetrics, orthopedic and sports medicine, and doctors’ suites.

A unique area within the building is the 5,000-SF Center for Simulation to Advance Innovation and Learning. The center has two simulator operating rooms, 11 surgical stations, and multiple high-tech medical mannequins for training. There are video links between the simulator operating rooms and the main hospital’s operating rooms, along with a training room where medical professionals can practice.
