The first filter for each design decision was how to minimize stress and improve the patient experience. The building also needed to be flexible to adapt to future changes in technology and patient care.

Home to a wide range of ambulatory care services, the facility includes outpatient surgery, endoscopy, interventional radiology, diagnostic imaging, infusion and digestive disease treatments.

With its glass-encapsulated wood screen facade and transparent lower floors, the building presents a warm, hospitable face to the community.
A 40-foot-high, daylit main lobby offers patients and their families respite from the congested city. The light-filled interiors continue up through each floor’s sky lobbies and primary circulation areas. Within the main lobby, a dramatic staircase invites guests up to a second-story, living room-like space with quiet zones, lounges and dining areas.

Use of natural stone and wood for interior touchpoints in the lobby creates a timeless design aesthetic that continues throughout the building. The wood complements the wooden micro slats that filter sunlight through the facade.

Even with the sophisticated medical equipment, clinical floors have a warm, welcoming feeling. Natural light and views to the outside help patients intuitively understand where they are and how to move through the space. Each clinical procedure floor has a standard layout and rooms for future flexibility as space needs change and technology advances.
