Project Brief

Building on our partnership with Meritus Health, we completed a full renovation of the Meritus Medical Center Emergency Department in Hagerstown, MD, transforming the existing single triage room into four dedicated patient evaluation spaces. The updated layout increases capacity and supports faster evaluations, allowing more patients to be assessed and connected with the appropriate care sooner. With the Emergency Department remaining active throughout construction, DAVIS worked closely with hospital personnel to maintain safe, clearly identified routes for doctors, nurses, and patients while minimizing disruption to critical operations.

The renovation was completed across five phases, requiring precise sequencing as work progressed through the department. Two major phases divided construction at the main nurses' station, where the team created a functional radius countertop while leaving one side accessible for future tie-ins. Temporary ICRA barriers also limited visibility between work areas, adding complexity to aligning floor tile and other finishes from one phase to the next. This detailed approach allowed construction to move forward while keeping essential emergency services available to the community.
