Dimeo Construction Company Completes Frost Family Pavilion Center at South County Hospital

Wakefield, RI - Dimeo recently completed the Frost Family Pavilion at South County Hospital designed by C/W Design Group.This 3-story, 60-bed inpatient replacement facility was built above the hospital's new East Wing addition, which houses an expanded emergency department, outpatient diagnostic imaging center, and main entrance/lobby. The East Wing was originally built with the intention of a future 2 story vertical expansion. Due to changed hospital needs, the vertical expansion was increased to 3 stories, requiring significant restructuring of supports in the East Wing.

This 48,000 sf expansion encompasses 16,000 sf per floor with 20 private patient beds and related support space on each floor. Each patient room includes private baths, internet connections, and access to electronic medical records. Nursing stations are located at the end of each floor with support services centralized in between. Each floor also has a family waiting room and a family consultation room as well as staff lounge and conference spaces.
