The new Main Lobby at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital is named for the late Robert A. Lipson, former Administrator of the Wellstar Health System.  The building exterior is finished in brick, precast concrete and glass to blend with the adjacent Patient Tower.  A colonnaded canopy welcomes patients and their families into the two-story lobby.  A large plaza, detailed with brick pavers and lush landscaping, allows easy navigation for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic.  The lobby is finished in beautiful warm-toned wood paneling and terrazzo flooring.  Clerestory windows enhance the area by allowing warm natural light to enter.  As a tribute and expression of high regard, paintings by Dr. Lipson are displayed in the Lobby Gallery.
