About the Project

With the existing hybrid operating room at the MedStar Washington Hospital Center constrained by a small footprint and outdated technology, CRGA worked with hospital leadership to create two new state-of-the-art hybrid operating rooms to support the cardiovascular service line as an integral component to the department’s strategic growth and vision.

Key to the success of the design was the ability to plan around existing space with the understanding that all construction should have minimal to no impact on surgery suite operations as this was a key priority to the client.

After extensive site survey and workflow analysis, the design team was able to select a project site that both minimized impact to daily operations as well as risk of infection during construction.
