Mercy Medical Des Moines Ia – The first hospital in Iowa to achieve LEED® certification for new construction, MercyOne West Des Moines Medical Center is designed to be a modern and efficient replacement facility in the heart of the busy Health Campus in Clive, Iowa. The center is adjacent to the designed MercyOne Health and Fitness Center.
Using evidence-based design, the team created a model emergency department, separating surgery and support traffic from the patient area, promoting patient privacy and creating a calm and comfortable environment for everyone. The facility is one of the first to implement a hybrid decentralized cluster nursing station model, combining the efficiency and security of a decentralized station with the communication and social benefits of a centralized station.

Critical access hospitals, tasked with providing essential hospital services to rural populations, face unique challenges in serving their communities.
No two health clinics are the same, they all serve different populations and vary in size and function.
Architecture and design are important elements in ensuring that critical access hospitals meet the criteria for receiving funding, as well as meeting the needs of staff and patients.
For this episode of Side of Design, we spoke to some of the most talented healthcare designers to learn about this incredibly important role.
Patients And Loved Ones Express Concern As Mercyone Deals With It Outage
Good health care does not happen by accident. It is the result of dedication and innovation – and it requires more than knowledge and passion. Founded in 1893, Mercy Medical Center has grown into a 917-bed acute care hospital located on three campuses in Des Moines, IA. The center recently unveiled “Mercy Momentum,” a comprehensive multi-year plan to meet the health care needs of Central Iowa.
The most recent project completed is the East Tower, an $80 million expansion that features state-of-the-art medical services in a modern facility designed to increase privacy, accessibility and overall comfort for patients and their families. As part of the expansion, the center needed a unique and dynamic signage solution that would integrate seamlessly into all buildings – new and old – and grow with the center over the coming years.
ASI created a complete signage solution for the East Tower that stayed within the hospital’s budget, met project expectations and complied with current ADA guidelines. ASI consulted with interior design professionals to ensure the signage complements the finish in the new addition.
ASI provides a digital signage system to be the main signage system for the spacious and modern Mercy Conference Center. The system efficiently organizes information and effectively communicates current and upcoming events to employees, physicians and community members visiting the conference area. Infinity was chosen as the ultimate indoor search solution because of its elegant and modular design. Additionally, wooden accents and digital images are used as identification for important area functions such as Pediatrics.

Infinity space is installed with renewable paperflex windows in the main area of this six-story, 249,000-square-foot facility to evolve with the Center as the name of the office and services changes. Special warning signs and dimensional lettering elegantly identify the center for patients and visitors and help guide them to their destination.
