Saint Joseph Healthcare
Lexington, Kentucky

As part of the master planning process for Saint Joseph Hospital and Saint Joseph East Hospital, Korda completed a mechanical and electrical systems and equipment assessment that covered the different generations of the main hospital including the original building, the three additions, and Saint Joseph East. The assessment provided a list of system upgrades to be addressed in the short term and a long-term approach to improving and replacing the central infrastructure of the existing main hospital.

As a precursor to the planned new heart hospital, a series of renovation/improvement projects took place. These projects at the main hospital included the behavioral health unit, NICU, the cafeteria, a new cardiac catheterization unit with two procedure rooms, a new conference center, the oncology unit, the post recovery nursing unit, expansion of the intensive care unit, and the expansion of the emergency department. The projects at Saint Joseph East included expansion of the long-term acute care unit, the expansion of the post anesthesia care unit, and the addition of two new operating rooms. Korda also designed the heart hospital expansion which features new building space for a central energy plant, central laboratory, emergency department, and executive offices.
