PROJECT SUMMARY
After the renovation of the Hospice of Dayton main campus, Brown & Bills Architects (BBA) was asked to turn its attention to the Butler & Warren Counties campus. Prior to BBA’s involvement, a previous construction project converted a two-story wood-frame office building, which did not meet the NFPA Life Safety Code as required by the Ohio Department of Health (ODH). As a result, the facility sat empty and unable to function without patients for several months.
The owner asked BBA to conduct a Fire Safety Evaluation System Analysis and implement the necessary improvements. BBA met with ODH and successfully gained the required approval for the facility to begin accepting patients. The design of the building’s interiors followed that of the Dayton campus with natural materials and finishes emulating nature. Contemporary light fixtures were selected for the entry and common areas. A spa and massage room completes the therapeutic patient and family experience. Finally, a new porte-cochere protects patients and visitors as they enter the building.
