General Description

The new 281,153 GSF facility’s compact, modern arrangement is designed with today’s emphasis on outpatient care and reduced in-patient care with a focus on patient and family care. Sherlock, Smith & Adams’ design met the challenge of Guam’s extreme environment – tropical humidity, corrosive coastal atmosphere, very high seismicity, and typhoon-force winds (170 mph). High volume clinics and ancillary services are off of the central waiting area on the first floor and lower volume clinics and matching in-patient functions are off the central waiting area on the second floor. Evidence based design was the impetus for this concept.
