Elegant French doors can be opened between the dining room and lobby for any large gathering that needs room to spread out. The food court also opens to an exterior courtyard that is landscaped with a wood trellis and outdoor tables and chairs. The stained and scored concrete pavement in this courtyard is patterned after the motif of arches seen throughout the facility and is visible from windows in patient rooms on the upper levels. The chapel, located in the emergency services wing, is a serene space with custom stained glass windows and a skylight similar to the one in the lobby. In addition to staff, patients and family, the chapel is occasionally used for masses that are open to the public and, therefore, has seating for some 60 people.
F rom the lobby, four glass elevators lead to patient rooms on upper levels.
Mexican stone surrounds each elevator door, which is clad with copper metal. In both material choices and architectural influences, the Spanish theme continues on patient floors. Doors to patient rooms and even supply closets are framed with an archway recalling the barrel motif that began with the ceiling and archways in the main lobby. Each nurses' station is flanked by structural columns clad in cherry with maple reveals. Adoquin stone is wrapped around the base of each column.
