tures, and finishes that evoke agrarian patterns and imagery. The design also integrates over 90 full-height commissioned photographs that showcase Midwestern landscapes, including a unique graphic in every patient room. Daylight is used throughout the hospital to provide clear orientation for visitors and a blending of the interior and exterior experience. The Grand Island Regional Medical Center has been envisioned as a new community hub for the city of Grand Island, whether it be in hosting a Sunday brunch in the full-service café, promoting yoga classes in one of the multiple healing gardens, or serving as a temporary respite break for a traveler along the connected bike trail. The hospital is designed to grow along with the community, with support planned for the expansion of the surgery and emergency departments on the site, and a vertical expansion of the patient tower to 128 beds. The Grand Island Regional Medical Center will continue to serve its community with a patient-focused approach and an inviting, modern design for many years to come. AU GUST 2021 77
