01 Challenge

BHDP collaborated with the University of Kentucky (UK) to transform an existing hospital café and coffee shop into an infusion center for chronic illness. With the growing need for infusion services forecasted at more than 10% compounded annually over the next decade, UK sought the optimal healthcare facility design to support distinct technology and growing patient needs. 

02 Solution

The 4,200 SF space now houses a modern infusion center with supportive amenities, without sacrificing necessary room counts. An inviting and relaxing waiting room and soft lighting throughout the facility ensure a better patient experience throughout the entire process. Infusion rooms in the surrounding space help maintain better visibility, ensuring staff safety and comfort. The central nurse station provides improved accessibility, with more efficient wayfinding and patient flow. Nature-inspired wall coverings, influenced by a current UK cancer facility, bring warmth and serenity into the updated space.
