Ascension St. Vincent’s Freestanding Emergency Department

Ascension St. Vincent’s recently opened its first freestanding emergency department (FED) in Trussville, Alabama. The BI team was involved in this project from the start, working alongside the architecture firm Birchfield Penuel Architects.

The 12,500-square-foot facility provides life-saving, 24/7 emergency care. Cardiovascular, surgical, transplant, neuro, stroke, and orthopedic specialists staff the workplace.

The Business Interiors team’s project scope included the lobby, twelve treatment rooms, two triage rooms, nurse stations, lab, imaging, closed offices, and break rooms. The FED provides ease of access to the local community and offers a central point of care outside of the main hospital.

City of Alabaster | Police Department Headquarters

In November 2023, the City of Alabaster Police Department opened the doors of their new headquarters. They had previously operated from the same building for the past seventy years. The new 34,000-square-foot facility is the workplace for nearly 90 officers and staff. It houses several agencies, training classes, interview rooms, evidence storage, communication facilities, and temporary inmate housing.

Business Interiors was awarded the project in early 2020, just before the COVID shutdown. The ground ceremony took place in late August 2020, and construction started in January 2021. Despite COVID-related project delays, the BI team worked steadfastly and patiently with members of the department to see the project through for over three years.

The project’s scope included Private Offices, Conference Rooms, Workstations, the Break Room, Lobby, Training Rooms, and the Dispatch Area. Additionally, the Business Interiors’ team sourced a media backdrop with the police department’s seal, United States flags, Alabama State flags, and faux plants and planters.

Eventive Sports

In October 2023, the team at Eventive Sports moved into their brand-new offices. This renovated space features a completely refreshed look and feel from their previous workspace. Business Interiors is proud to have provided furniture solutions for the full project, including 43 offices, three meeting rooms, a café, a reception area, and workstations.

Eventive Sports, formerly the Bruno Event Team, is a leading sports event management firm headquartered in Birmingham. They partner on events with the SEC, the PGA, the NCAA, IndyCar, and other major organizations. The company underwent a name change and rebranding process. This refresh fell in line with the opening of their new office.

Since 1996, Eventive has managed more than 250 major sporting events in 35 states and three countries. Troon, the leader in golf and club-related leisure and hospitality services, acquired Eventive in January 2024. Troon continues the expansion of its event management portfolio through this acquisition. Eventive Sports will maintain their Birmingham office and continue to support their sporting event partners.

Baptist Hospital | Pensacola

On June 26, 2019, Baptist Health Care formally announced the planning and construction of a new state-of-the-art hospital in Pensacola, Florida. This $650 million project occupies a 57-acre campus. It includes the 10-story, 264-bed Baptist Hospital, the six-story, 178,000-square-foot Bear Family Foundation Health Center, and the 48,000-square-foot Baptist Behavioral Health Unit.

The Pensacola Baptist Health Care Brent Lane campus officially opened in September 2023. Business Interiors worked with Baptist Health Care, Gresham Smith, and Meadows and Ohly on this project. We were tasked with providing solutions for all patient-facing clinical areas. Specifically, our scope included the hospital’s main lobby, waiting areas, patient rooms, lab, pharmacy, and behavioral health areas.

Of the 264 patient beds, 54 are in the intensive care unit. 198 are medical/surgical, and 12 are labor and delivery suites. Patient rooms are spacious and private, designed for the comfort of families and visitors. The Behavioral Health Unit maintains 72 beds for adults and children needing inpatient treatment. The Bear Family Foundation Health Center houses the Baptist Cancer Institute, Baptist Heart & Vascular Institute, Baptist Medical Group, and other offices.

The entire campus is designed with a patient-first focus on comfort. Furthermore, we also focused on hospital staff space utilization, response time, and efficiency. This created a healthy, modern healthcare space. The hospital serves Escambia County and the surrounding area and stands as one of the most modern hospital campuses in the U.S.
