The Center for Community Health (CCH), located
at NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist
Hospital, is the first major ambulatory care
facility built in Brooklyn in 40 years, as well as the
largest. This center is a key step to completing the
institution's campus within Park Slope in order
to provide Brooklynites greater access to outpatient
services, high-quality care, and an improved
patient experience. The CCH offers a wide range
of ambulatory care services, including oncology,
digestive, and endoscopy services, as well as an
infusion center, ambulatory surgery, diagnostic
imaging center, and more.
The design team worked closely and collab©
ANDREW RUGGE-PERKINS EASTMAN
oratively with both client and the community
to ensure the six-story, 400,000-square-foot
building would integrate within its historic
neighborhood. The architectural character is
modern yet still interpretive of the surrounding
brownstones. (In fact, the Center was literally
built around brownstones). Despite the large
massing, the stepped façades blend with the
neighbor hood's sloped streets and the existing
city fabric of traditional townhouses.
Views of historic Park Slope's tree-lined streets
and neighborhood context and views of the Manhattan
skyline greet patients, physicians, and
staff through prominent glazing that connects
them to their context and orients them.
A stunning art program featuring internationally
renowned, local artists energize the center,
give it identity, and contribute to a broader understanding
of patient-centeredness and wellness.
A custom art installation, " The Colors of
the Neighborhood, " interprets the neighborhood's
famous brownstones and façades at the
facility's main entrance.
The facility also has a valet-staffed parking facility,
a grab-and-go cafe, comfortable waiting
lounges, and a conference center.
