Providence St. Vincent Emergency Department
The Project
Lewis renovated and expanded the Providence St. Vincent ED in the Knight Pavilion, enhancing care and efficiency while maintaining 24/7 operations. The phased project added patient rooms, imaging, flexible-use spaces and upgraded staff amenities, infrastructure and finishes.
About
The project involved expanding the patient room count from 52 beds to 72. It also includes a new and improved imaging department, universal exam rooms, the relocation of the behavioral health unit and the installation of a new air handler unit. These ED renovations allow the hospital to reduce the triage time it takes for patients to receive vital medical care and increase the ED’s capacity.

Transforming Emergency Care
Renovating a hospital is never simple. Doing it inside an emergency department that operates 24 hours a day adds an entirely new level of complexity.
At Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland, Lewis partnered with JRJ Architects to complete a 57,250-square-foot, phased expansion and renovation of the hospital's emergency department, all while it continued providing 24/7 care to the community throughout construction. The $47 million project modernized Portland's busiest emergency department without a single construction-related patient diversion.
