West Des Moines Medical Center

Des Moines, Iowa

LEED Certified – New Construction

The first hospital in Iowa to achieve LEED® Certification for new construction, MercyOne West Des Moines Medical Center was conceived to be a modern and efficient replacement facility at the center of the busy Wellness Campus in Clive, Iowa. The Center is adjacent to the BWBR-designed MercyOne Health & Fitness Center.

Using evidence-based design, the team created a core-model emergency department, separating operation traffic and support from patient areas, promoting patient privacy and creating a calm, comfortable environment for all. The facility was one of the first to implement a hybrid decentralized-grouped nursing station model, combining the efficiency and safety of decentralized stations with the communication and social benefits of a centralized station.

Size: 226,000 sq. ft.

Components: 82-bed primary care hospital with shell space to expand to 146 beds; four inpatient floors featuring private, universal rooms, and family lounges; 10 LDRP rooms and nursery; inpatient-focused imaging center, flexible to accommodate outpatient needs; two 30-seat conference rooms; 90-seat dining facility; LEED® -NC Certified
