New Fort Benning hospital doubles size of predecessor

Facility includes walking trails and healing gardens, natural palettes and lighting and a noise-reduction focus


The new $390-million Martin Army Community Hospital at Fort Benning, Ga. has 745,000 square feet of space, double the size of its predecessor, according to an article on The Columbus Times website.

The facility include 70 inpatient beds, 24 psychiatric beds, 24 medical surgical beds, four acuity adaptable intensive care units (ICUs), four step down ICUs, five operating rooms, one orthopedic operating room, two endoscopy rooms, five labor and delivery recovery rooms and one caesarian suite.

The facility includes walking trails and healing gardens, natural palettes and lighting and a noise-reduction focus.

The sustainable design showcases large illuminating windows, green roofs, and insulated precast exteriors to meet the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) silver certification requirements.

“It will maximize patient and family satisfaction and well-being by co-locating related services into care centers, providing single patient rooms, providing appropriate levels of patient privacy, as well as places where patients can socially interact with family, friends and caregivers,” Alan Bugg, Fort Benning area engineer for the Corps’ Savannah District, said in the article.
