VA WLA Wadsworth Hospital’s Sterilization Department handles the decontamination, assembly and sterile processing, sterile storage, and distribution of medical equipment for the entire medical campus, all within a compact 5,000 square-foot space.
Zakian Woo Architects’ renovation improved the department’s functionality with built-in stainless-steel casework and the strategic placement of equipment that includes four Getinge washers, two Getinge sterilizers, a cart washer by Siemens and decontamination/Prep & Pack workspace. The work environment was elevated for staff with a pleasing color palette and custom workstations. The project was a Design/Build with Contractors MG and LM2 Construction; it was completed in four phases to keep the department fully operational during construction.
