Buffalo, NY
Kideney Architects (in conjunction with IKM, Inc) were engaged to relocate and enlarge the outpatient dialysis unit. The new center incorporated stations from Buffalo General Hospital as well as ECMC’s existing unit to better accommodate patient needs and influx. A critical goal of the planning agenda was to incorporate the new building project into the phasing and growth of the existing hospital campus.
