The Grady Memorial Hospital Medical Behavioral Unit is located on Level 13 and 14 of the A and B tower, and includes a 15,500 sf full renovation of an existing administration floor and on-call rooms. The project, a design build effort, transformed the space into a new 15-bed single occupancy medical surgical behavior unit to support an existing behavior health clinic and increasing population demand. Level 13 A and B provides patient rooms with new lighting, anti-ligature fixtures and accessories, security controls, new headwalls, new bathrooms, and new furniture and finishes. Additionally, the design added activity rooms, consult rooms, staff support, staff meeting and office spaces. To provide better staff access, an exterior communicating stair connects the behavior unit with the administrative offices on Level 14, previously on-call rooms, into business offices. The first phase reached completion August 2022; the second phase October 2023.
