Made possible by a generous donation by The Balise Family, the West Entrance to South County Hospital has been redesigned by NEMD Architects.
The new Balise Entrance provides a convenient entry point for patients, visitors and staff. The approaching walkway to the automatic doors take on a mall-like appearance, with concrete flooring and seating areas that wrap around ornate planters filled with manicured flora.
Using a combination of direct and backlighting, the area is illuminated for aesthetics and safety, while being subtle enough to allow visitors to enjoy a relaxing ambiance near the new water wall.
The automatic doors lead to a vestibule where visitors can enter the Main Hospital lobby or the adjacent Medical Office Building.
