Compounding Pharmacy
Virginia Mason
Finding a location for a new compounding pharmacy within the existing Virginia Mason hospital was particularly difficult due to the age of the existing construction, the ceiling height required in the mixing rooms, the existing mechanical systems, and the floor to floor height. Six locations were considered before deciding on the 11th floor of the existing hospital.
