Hospital operating rooms
(right) feature state-of-theart medical technology and
lighting. Wood paneling frames
the desk in the emergency
department walk-in area
(below). Nurses' stations in
the emergency department
(bottom) have optimal
visibility into the treatment
rooms. A nondenominational
chapel (opposite, top)
displays a nature-inspired
glass installation by Gordon
Huether. Signature suites
(opposite, bottom) offer
private areas for visitors,
expansive views, and
a warm aesthetic.
Located behind the concourse, the emergency and surgery
departments contain more than 40 treatment areas clad in wood
and stone veneer. Clerestory windows and a smooth curved soffit allow
both natural light and soft artificial light to penetrate deep inside,
and clear sight lines help reduce stress and clutter. The surgery
and emergency waiting rooms take cues from hospitality, with carpet
and stone tile flooring, cove lighting, and contemporary furniture
for an interior that feels hotel-like.
The second floor, which houses the heart and vascular center
and intensive care unit, emphasizes light and nature. Living room-like
intensive care unit waiting rooms have gradient-etched glass dividers
that delineate spaces but allow light through while also ensuring
privacy. Intensive care unit rooms contain warm finishes, and many
afford views of a planted family terrace. Overhead booms centralize
technology, allowing treatment to occur in the room itself. Another
planted terrace is reserved for the staff, just outside their lounge.
Empathy through design
Most patient rooms-all private with their own bathrooms-have
floor-to-ceiling windows and, thus, feel much larger than they are.
Wood veneer walls, wood floors, cove lighting, and en suite furniture
for patients and guests combat the usual sense of hospital sterility.
Patient rooms all boast spectacular views, sometimes stretching
as far as Long Island Sound. In the halls outside, 32-foot-wide graphics
depicting local scenery, including cherry blossoms and lighthouses,
help visitors distinguish each floor.
With a building that is now one year old, the hospital has
garnered dramatic positive results. Patients are posting higher
satisfaction scores while being treated more quickly and effectively.
And the facility has helped the hospital attract talented new staff
members, from surgeons and doctors to nurses.
"Empathy can be expressed through a building, through warmth,
through access to light, and through smart design," says Gupta. "It has
a much more far-reaching impact than bricks and mortar." c
