Design that saves lives.
Advancing emergency care.
Meeting rising demand; exceeding expectations.
One of the top five largest—and busiest—emergency departments in the county and the only Level I Trauma Center in Oakland Country, the Corewell Health William Beaumont University Hospital (formerly Beaumont Hospital Royal Oak) Emergency Center is a critical provider of emergency medical care for the entire state of Michigan.

Facing an influx of patients that strained space, staff and resources, Corewell Health's redesign goals were clear: accommodate the largest possible number of exam and patient observation rooms; expedite intake and improve organization; and create space both within the existing footprint, and through a substantial new addition.

Immense by emergency center standards, the completed project nearly doubles the size of the previous facility increasing efficiency and organization; expediting intake, triage and treatment; elevating Corewell Health's standard of care; and saving lives.

To expedite and better organize critical intake procedures, we streamlined patient access to three key entry points: the front door, ambulance entrance and helipad.

Clerestory windows and skylights infuse the interior with natural light and provide a sense of passing time—an element often missing from emergency rooms.
