Brooklyn Hospital ED Receives AIA New Jersey Merit Award!

The expansion and renovation of the Brooklyn Hospital Center Emergency Department has received a Merit Award from AIA New Jersey — the project’s second award win, after being previously recognized by AIA Newark & Suburban.

The ED expansion increases capacity and improves patient and staff experiences at a critical safety-net hospital, by removing barriers between the community and healthcare. Where formerly it greeted patients with a forbidding brick wall, now the ED welcomes the community with a public plaza and expanded entrance lobby, where floor-to-ceiling glass improves the waiting experience with visual connections to the street and abundant daylight.

Congratulations to the project team on their second award!
