Akron, Ohio

As part of a system wide transformational plan, this new six-story “front door” addition to the provides an additional 343,000-sq.ft. to Summa Health’s Akron Campus. It not only expands private patient rooms, but also provides a modernized Labor & Delivery Unit; Birthing Center, Women’s Health Center (Breast Center and surgical services); NICU; and Same Day Surgery Center.
The grand, two-story lobby spanning the building’s ground level and first floors creates a prominent front door to the new patient tower. Beyond the lobby, the ground floor is home to a 19,000 square foot breast center that provides both diagnostic, screening and pre-/post-surgical services for Women’s Health. The breast center features exam, mammography, stereotactic, and ultrasound rooms, and houses a state-of-the-art MRI. A conference center with movable partitions for space reconfiguration is also conveniently located on this main level.
The building’s first floor expands Summa’s surgical services in the new Same Day Surgery Center. Two of the operating rooms were specifically designed for da Vinci Surgical System robots, which provide robotic-assisted surgery options, performed from a control room adjacent to the operating room.
The tower’s second floor is home to a newborn intensive care unit (NICU) that serves the new comprehensive Birthing Center, which includes 10 private triage rooms, 10 private ante-partum rooms, 17 labor and delivery rooms and three Cesarean section operating rooms.
The fourth, fifth and sixth levels are dedicated to private patient rooms with increased space for family and visitors and views of the surrounding campus and Akron skyline. The fourth floor houses 36 private mother and baby rooms, a newborn observation area and family lounge spaces. Private inpatient surgery rooms make up the entirety of the fifth and sixth floors.
