Hospital dining should provide a
place of respite for patients, visitors, and
employees alike, but at Brigham and Women's
Hospital in Boston, the 13,500-square-foot
cafeteria was serving up a dated environment.
"The cafeteria layout posed throughput issues
and constraints with what we could menu,"
says Susan Langill, director of food services at
Brigham and Women's Hospital. "The ceilings
were low and the windows small, further contributing to the feeling of being crowded and a
bit dreary."
As part of a master plan to improve the
patient experience, a multidisciplinary design
team, including Bruner/Cott & Associates
(Cambridge, Mass.) and Cama Inc. (New
Haven, Conn.), is working with the hospital to
renovate the cafeteria to better incorporate
evidence-based design concepts, including
access to nature and daylight, and deliver
healthier food choices. "Nutrition and environment play key roles in overall well-being,"
Langill says. "With varied seating options, more
natural light, and views of the added garden,
the dining room will be a welcome area for
folks to unwind." The project is expected to be
completed in September 2016.
The 1970s hospital designed by architect
Bertrand Goldberg presented several challenges during the redesign, including a castin-place concrete exterior with 4-foot-square
windows. Bob Simmons, principal at Bruner/
Cott, says one of the first steps was to remove
the concrete skin outside the second-story

cafeteria and install full-height glass walls with a fritted
abstract grass pattern that's opaque on the bottom
and becomes more translucent at the top. New large
planting beds cantilever off the side of the building to
further improve the view and bring a stronger presence of nature to the campus. "We wanted to screen
the view a little bit but still allow the light to come in
and to have that feeling of nature," Simmons says.
Inside, the team had to address issues with circulation, including two separate dining areas that were
connected by a windowless hallway, and find room
for expanded seating and new menu options, such as
an infused water station and yogurt and juice bar. A
2,000-square-foot addition was placed between the
two existing dining areas to create one continuous
292-seat space with seating options including high
and low banquettes.
Providing more room for customers, however, limited the footprint for food prep, catering, and staging,
so the catering kitchen and staging area were moved
A narrow servery is being
expanded by relocating some
catering services to another floor,
opening up the floor plan to feature
more freshly prepared food items.
