Developing an Open MRI to Address the Needs of the Fayetteville, NC Community
FNCVAMC Radiology determined that existing MRI scanning facilities for inpatient and outpatient services were at maximum capacity. Additional capacity was needed for outpatient MRI scanning, with existing MRI scanner in the main hospital to be used for inpatient scans. The solution was to construct a freestanding building on campus dedicated to outpatient usage. Provision of an open MRI scanner for bariatric and claustrophobic patients was deemed to be a major factor for design of a new facility.
Alesia Architecture provided architectural services that include conceptual drawings, planning, site visits, design work, 3D drawings and specifications, cost estimates, and construction administration services for a new stand-alone MRI building in Fayetteville, NC.
