Southeast Alabama Medical Center
Emergency Department

Client: Houston County
Hospital Board
The Medical Center wanted to
provide a larger modern emergency department to limit the amount of
time patients wait to see a physician. The facility is a steel frame
of Type Two construction with brick and block exterior walls for the
first eight feet. The remaining portion of exterior is EIFS on metal
studs; interior partitions are metal studs and gypsum, finishes are
paint; vinyl wall covering, and seamless vinyl flooring in critical
areas; and acoustical tile ceilings. The new addition was designed to complement the character of the existing facility.
The new emergency center is a 27,000 sq ft. facility. The center
includes the following: waiting area for 70 people, a family/prayer
room, snack and vending area, thirty-two (32) patient beds, two (2)
X-Ray units and CT scan major trauma and resuscitation room,
orthopedic treatment room, eight (8) bed short stay diagnostic
treatment unit, exam room for victims of sexual assault, minor surgery
and procedure room, eye exam, ear nose and throat room, two (2)
isolation rooms, a separate ambulance and walk in entrance.
