Columbia Hospital For WomenOne of the oldest hospitals in Washington, D.C., Columbia Hospital for Women has been at its current site since 1870. Shortly after the Civil War, the Secretary of War E. N. Stanton authorized funds to establish a 50-bed hospital, stipulating that 20 of these beds be reserved for the wives and widows of U.S. soldiers. This was in response to a desperate need for a health-care facility for women who were arriving in the city in search of missing relatives.
The Columbia became a private, non-profit hospital when President Eisenhower signed legislation transferring it to its board of directors in 1953. Columbia Hospital has pioneered in the implementation of a number of innovative techniques in obstetrics and gynecology, and since its founding in 1866; more than 250,000 babies have been delivered at Columbia. EDG2 provided engineering/architecture and construction administration services for the complete renovation of the project through five phases of design and added a new 150,000 sf medical office building. Our work also included improvements to the in-vitro laboratories. The laboratories achieved a 1,000 clean room rating with their own temperature control. |
