HEALTHCARE DESIGN SHOWCASE
COMMUNITY HOSPITAL
Vassar Brothers Medical Center
Inpatient Pavilion
Poughkeepsie, N.Y.
SUBMITTED BY: CALLISONRTKL (DALLAS)
With a focus on creating a patient-centered,
healing environment, the design of the new
eight-level inpatient pavilion cultivates clarity,
flexibility, and longevity, while infusing new
energy into the community. The design of the
medical center establishes a benchmark for
world-class care and sustainable design, while
offering patients and staff a destination of choice
for healthcare.
Much like the mid-Hudson Bridge and Walkway
over the river, the vision for the Vassar
Brothers Medical Center (VBMC) campus is a
revitalization of an outdated, inefficient collection
of facilities into a fresh, new, and sustainable
medical center that is set to become a destination
of care, Nuance Health's flagship and a
Hudson Valley landmark.
The building's distinctive 'S' curve mimics
the flow of the river, provides uninterrupted
views to nature, and brings the building down
to a human scale with the appearance of shorter,
less daunting hallways.
The interior design simulates a five-star hotel
while carefully considering patient process
and flow, caregiver patterns, and contemporary
care delivery for a calming, human-centered
experience. Natural light flows through the
entry, lobby and waiting spaces with expansive
floor to ceiling glass windows that are complemented
by calming light tile flooring, whitewashed
walls, and tonal fixtures. A connection
to nature is further instilled through patient
room views that overlook the water to reduce
anxiety and support mental health and wellness.
The intentional infusion of blue hues and
cooler tones instills tranquility and security
within patients and visitors alike, while subtly
symbolizing the Hudson River.
