West Haven, CT – Construction is underway of the Yale New Haven Health System’s (YNHHS) new Regional Operations Center (ROC) in West Haven. The S/L/A/M Collaborative (SLAM) is the design team for the project, and A/Z Corporation is serving as the construction manager.
The ROC will contain spaces for pharmacies, medical device storage, linen operations, repair shops, high-bay warehousing, loading docks, and administration in its 140,000sf footprint.
This will allow YNHHS to easily receive and distribute resources to its five hospitals and numerous outpatient facilities.
The exterior design of the ROC seeks to reflect the YNHHS brand. The overall response is a building that is forward-looking with clean lines
While the vast majority of the ROC is a large warehouse and distribution facility for YNHHS, the opportunity for an impactful design at the main entry, public corridors, offices, and staff support areas was evident.
SLAM’s design team has taken advantage of the minimalist aesthetic of the warehouse and is bringing an industrial feel into the public spaces utilized by staff and visitors daily.
Construction is expected to be completed in 2019.
