Renown Regional Medical Center

Brightening the skyline of booming, Reno, Nevada, a new 11-story acute care patient tower has transformed Renown Regional Medical Center's campus. Previously a county hospital, Renown sought to totally update their campus with both a new bed tower, as well as a new image/brand, symbolizing their long-range commitment to the community. Up-to-date technologies and superbly functioning spaces allow physicians and other medical staff to deliver today's most advanced healthcare.

Tahoe Tower contains 190 private patient rooms, with the ability to expand to 340 beds. Seventeen large surgical suites feature the latest in testing and treatment options. Seventy-five new exam rooms in the Emergency Department await trauma patients.

"Band of light" is the exterior architectural theme, and the interior spaces are adorned with 300 works of art. Color palettes used establish a high-tech design image that blends with the natural, high-desert environment, promoting Renown's iconographical goals for peace, light, and wellness.
