Medical Center – Oshkosh
Completed in 2003, Aurora’s Inpatient Expansion in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, was designed by Kahn in collaboration with Aurora to function as a state-of the-art hospital in every respect. Among its unique features is a six-bay Neo-Intensive Care Unit – the first of its kind in the Oshkosh area – and a ten-room operating suite. It also boasts comprehensive emergency services, a full-service clinical laboratory, and expanded diagnostic and cardiopulmonary centers. The medical office building expansion includes a spacious Vince Lombardi Cancer Clinic and a roomy dialysis unit – all components indicative of Kahn’s and Aurora’s comprehensive approach to health care design. more...
There were two crucial aspects of this project to which Aurora and Kahn team members paid particular attention. The first was the more than 14,000 square feet of the original outpatient center that needed to be renovated in a way that not only fully accommodated all new hospital uses but that did so in a seamless and aesthetically pleasing way. The other was taking full advantage of the site’s distinctive location, which was visible from the major thoroughfares traveling both north-south and east-west along Oshkosh’s western boundary. Kahn designers first enhanced the site’s entryway with a large retention pond accentuated by a bubbling fountain. Patient access needs were also more than met, with separate and ample parking adjacent to each different service, and an enclosed, heated, and easily accessible ambulance garage at the facility’s south end. A helipad was also situated next to the emergency room entrance. Kahn provided master planning, programming, architectural design, and development, structural design, and field representation services on this project.
