The previous facility handled 12,000 cases a year - a number that is expected to rise to 15,000 in the next three years.  This renovation and expansion project has increased the number of beds, increased the square footage from 3,000 to 13,000 s/f and will allow Harrington HealthCare System to accommodate the expected increase in patient traffic in the years to come.

DAI designed the new emergency department to include a new registration area to accommodate more patients and improve patient flow with increased privacy and comfort, separate areas for behavioral health patients, a private family waiting area, and a new ambulance entrance, main entrance and lobby.  The design and construction team worked with the town planning department to improve site conditions, parking, traffic flow patterns and safety. This project also included significant mechanical and electrical Infrastructure changes and upgrades. 

The emergency department was completed in late fall 2014 and opened in January 2015.
