Flad Architects | Sarasota Memorial Hospital – Venice


Our Project

Sarasota Memorial Health Care System’s new greenfield hospital delivers advanced, patient-centered care in a modern healing environment. As the system’s second full-service hospital, Sarasota Memorial Hospital – Venice marks the most significant expansion in its 96-year history. The multi-award-winning hospital offers comprehensive emergency, medical and surgical care.

The 365,000-square-foot, five-story hospital opened with 110 private patient suites, a 28-bed emergency care center and eight surgical suites. Its flexible design includes a negative-pressure ventilation system to convert intensive care unit critical care pods for isolation use. A post-occupancy evaluation of the original build provided valuable insights that informed the design of future facilities. The first expansion, a 164,000-square-foot, five-story inpatient bed tower, incorporated these lessons. This addition added 68 acute care rooms, 34 shelled inpatient rooms, support and shell space and dedicated mechanical, electrical and plumbing infrastructure.
