John R. Oishei Children's
Hospital
BUFFALO, N.Y.
Shepley Bulfinch completed the consolidation
and relocation of the Women and Children's
Hospital of Buffalo in 2017 to the newly
designed John R. Oishei Children's Hospital,
creating New York State's only freestanding
children's hospital and one of forty-three
nationwide. The 410,000-square-foot, 185-bed
facility is built intentionally for children and
families, while increasing efficiencies and creating
new opportunities.
Caring for moms and children remains the
highest priority for the hospital. The 64-bed
private room Children's Guild Foundation
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit provides centralized,
comprehensive maternity services with
Labor and Delivery, Antepartum, and Emergent/Scheduled
C-section ORs on one floor for
around the clock care in a secluded space. The facility
offers family-centered care spaces, including
a Family Resource Room, laundry amenities,
kitchenettes, family lounges, and seating in
patient rooms that operate as sleeping areas
for visiting family members. Respite is offered
through the non-denominational chapel, winter
garden, and meditative roof garden, infused with
light and nature.
The new facility emphasizes multidisciplinary
care and teaching with an 'academic collaborative
zone' on each of the clinical floors and extensive
education programs, supported by the fully
integrated Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus
(BNMC) and the University of Buffalo's Jacobs
School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.
Designed around the patient/family experience, comfort and healing
spaces such as children's playrooms and meditative gardens are
included throughout the hospital. Every floor has elevator lobbies and
public areas facing the main entryway with floor-to-ceiling windows that
provide natural light and campus views to help orient visitors within the
building. Photo: Laura Peters / CannonDesign
To emphasize its central role on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus,
John R. Oishei Children's Hospital's colored-glass exterior façade is
located on the main street of the campus and features a prominent
entry that identifies with children. The transparency of public spaces
and the hanging gardens animate the building, giving it a distinct
identity. Photo: © Tim Wilkes
