contractor Sellen Construction (Seattle) involved
throughout provided much-needed counsel
to ownership on what ideas would also fit the
budget. "The process doesn't focus users on how
much things cost. There has to be a safety net so
you don't decide on something you can't afford to
build," he says.

and closed collaboration spaces for
staff, all easily visible to other staff
members, patients, and families while
also just steps away from patient
rooms. Above: A curved flooring
and ceiling pattern provides a clear
directional cue in inpatient units,
while color is used to denote entry
into the patient rooms. Opposite,

workspace for staff as well as storage
for medications and other supplies.
The Building Hope project utilizes
just-in-time delivery of supplies to the
porches as one of the efforts made
to Lean the building's processes.

and open collaboration spaces are
available to staff, while care team
porches are located adjacent to
patient rooms.

Core concepts
When all was said and done, the Lean process
identified a number of design approaches to support Seattle Children's goals for a safe, efficient
environment of care, starting with eight-bed
patient room neighborhoods in 16-bed units designed around an extremely narrow building core.
"In a traditional outpatient unit, you would have a
core taken up with storage of items, and here the
core is taken up by people functioning in different
ways, interacting," says Anita Rossen, senior
interior designer at ZGF. The narrow core not only
offers open and closed collaboration spaces but
provides short travel distances to patient rooms
and allows daylighting to cross the unit while offering easy visibility, too.
When nurses aren't at the bedside, their next
point of contact is the care team porches, small
workstations adjacent to patient rooms. The
spaces are also used to store supplies, charts,
equipment, and medication, and to support justin-time supply delivery. "It really becomes this
multifunctional space, but it's visually right in your
path of travel, which is impactful for families and
staff," Rossen says.
