ST. MICHAEL MEDICAL CENTER
Silverdale, Wash.
THE ACUTE CARE expansion for St. Michael
Medical Center in Silverdale, Wash., uses
sustainable design strategies that emphasize
the natural beauty of the surrounding site.
For example, the project, designed by NBBJ
(Seattle), is closely integrated into the sloping
hillside, celebrating the unique topography
that shifts 80 feet in elevation from top
to bottom.
To create a welcoming, calming environment,
the landscape features a healing garden
with a reflecting pond and waterfall that
cascades through the space. The water feature
is set amid low-maintenance grasses,
young conifers, and natural boulders that are
reminiscent of the region's lush natural environment.
The healing garden slopes down
the hill, connecting two levels of the hospital
and providing outdoor dining adjacent
to indoor seating and a café. Together, these
garden elements bring comfort to patients,
family members, and staff, creating an invit30

ing entry as well as a place to visit and seek
respite on campus.
The integration with the outdoors is further
reflected in the campus' connection to an
urban trail system, with a wooded path that
links up with a nearly eight-mile hiking route.
On the façade, a coordinated building
enclosure-a curved curtain wall with lowemissivity
glass that's designed to reflect
heat, insulated metal panels, and deep sunshades-protects
the large expanses of glazing
from the southwest sun while providing
natural light and stunning views for the interior
spaces. In addition, the project will
reduce water usage by up to 34 percent. A
key element to planned water savings is a reclaimed
water system supplied by the water
district that's piped throughout the building
for future irrigation and flushing. This
system will be connected to the district's recycled
water program when it becomes active
in a few years.
