Until the development of this project, Wishard utilized the old labor room to delivery room to postpartum room model. This project, which included four new LDRP rooms, became the standard design for all subsequent birthing rooms at Wishard. In the LDRP room, the mother remains in the same room throughout her entire stay. Space in the room is dedicated for the rooming-in of the baby and for fathers and other family members. Particular attention is given to creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere, much like a bedroom at home.

Artekna produced the final complete construction documents in two weeks from the initial design meeting in order to meet the hospital's accelerated need for these rooms.
