Luminis Health J. Kent McNew Family Medical Center
Our team worked with Anne Arundel Medical Center (AAMC) to design the J. Kent McNew Family Medical Center, a state-of-the-art mental health hospital that provides mental health access to Anne Arundel County residents.
Project Size: 56,600 SF
Project Location: Annapolis, MD
Services: Architecture
Practice Areas: Healthcare
Design Components
The design includes sixteen (16) in-patient rooms, as well as an outpatient mental health clinic and a psychiatric partial day hospitalization program for adults and adolescents. This 56,600 sf four-story facility also includes consultation and therapy rooms, a peaceful courtyard for patients and families. The first floor is home to a multipurpose space to be utilized by the community to support mental health related programs and events. The building’s top floor has shell space reserved for expansion to potentially include additional inpatient psychiatric beds. There is additional shell space for future outpatient mental health programs.
A Step Away from Pathways
The new mental health facility is on the campus of Pathways, their long-standing substance use and co-occurring disorders residential and outpatient treatment facility. This property now serves the community as a multiple diagnosis health care campus for children and adults suffering from mental illness and addiction.
Sustainability
Anne Arundel Medical Center’s new Mental Health Hospital is a place to heal, develop, and thrive and the inclusion of sustainable design elements helps their patients, families and staff do just that. The grand opening of this facility is in March, 2020, and the building has been designed to achieve LEED Gold.
Some of the key sustainable design elements implemented in this new building include:
- Water conservation including low flow sinks, toilets and shower heads
- Low VOC paints and interior materials with low odor and low emission for improved indoor air quality
- Recycled and regional materials including carpet tile, ceiling tiles and steel
- FSC certified wood products for all interior wood doors and architectural elements
- Community Connectivity to the surrounding city with access to public transportation and amenities
- Bicycle storage and changing rooms to encourage staff to ride their bikes to work
- Water efficient landscaping including landscaping indigenous to the area that does not require permanent site irrigation
- Efficient LED lighting throughout the building that is more energy efficient and does not contain mercury
- Furniture with recycled and sustainable components
- Sustainable cleaning protocols that minimize impacts on the environment and are low odor for improved indoor air quality.
