Designing and building this new expansion has provided an exciting opportunity to explore new innovations for how we provide care and treatment at SCCA. In additional to our new care neighborhood footprint, there are several other exciting elements to the project.
Our clinical floors are being designed around an improved patient and family experience. In addition to reducing wait times, we can build in new features, such as respite areas or open spaces that may be limited in our existing facility. We are also planning a new café to provide another food and coffee option to compliment the Red Brick Bistro in our existing space.
One of the most exciting features is the first-in-healthcare in the U.S. fully automated parking garage. This parking garage will offer consistent and easy access to parking for patients and eliminates the need in this building for a separate passenger elevator system. The automated parking garage will include a valet drop-off experience and can accommodate most large vehicles. Patients may still choose to use valet or self-park in the existing garage, as well.
