Bayhealth Medical Center | Kent Campus Expansion

440,500 sf expansion at Bayhealth Kent Campus consisting of the Pavilion, parking garage, and Central Services Building (CSB). The Pavilion is a 3-story addition to the existing hospital housing a Welcome Center with 15,000 sf of retail space, a new and enlarged Emergency Department, and a 35,000 sf integrated Oncology Center. The Pavilion is designed for future expansion to ten stories. Adjacent to the Pavilion is a 375-car, 4-½ level parking garage with direct access into the hospital, conveniently located next to the Emergency Room. The parking garage can be accessed from Governors Avenue with additional access off a new entrance road from South Street.

The CSB is located on the north end of the site connected directly to the Pavilion via a pedestrian and utility bridge spanning across South Street. The CSB houses plant operations equipment for the proposed additions. All facility deliveries including materials, fuel oil, medical gas, waste removal, food service, laundry, and medical supplies are made to the CSB and conveyed to the hospital through the bridge. From drainage analysis to effective site circulation to bridging South Street, the Kent Campus expansion was the culmination of years of planning, design, and effective execution to support Bayhealth’s commitment to patient care.
