Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital MRI Building Addition

Serving the coastal town of Lincoln City and surrounding areas, the new Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital was designed for future expansion as needed. Soon after opening their new facility, it became apparent the need to update their MRI so they could continue to offer top-of-the-line diagnostic and treatment imaging services to the community. Gerding constructed the new MRI addition, and it is conveniently located and connected to the north side of the hospital near the Emergency Department. This 2,350 sf addition blends seamlessly with the interior and exterior design, and houses a new MRI unit, patient care stations, waiting area, control room, mechanical room, and includes separate restroom facilities for all patients and visitors.  Construction involved tie-in to the existing building, and it was critical that services were not disrupted, and patients and staff were protected from construction. To accomplish this, Gerding installed Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) containment walls inside the Hospital’s Emergency Department, it not only looked nice and clean, but it also kept the Emergency Room operational during construction.
