Tenet Healthcare St.
Christopher's Hospital for
Children, Critical Care Tower
Philadelphia
S UB MITTED BY: E W I N G C O L E ( P H I L A D E L P H I A )
Tenet Healthcare St. Christopher's Hospital for
Children, Critical Care Tower is a four-story,
135,000-square-foot tower addition that is in
line with the hospital's commitment to providing high-quality pediatric care.
The exterior includes a new main entrance
concourse and canopies to serve car drop-off
and patients walking from the parking garage,
prominently lit building-mounted signage, as
well as glass and brick fenestration. A pedestrian bridge spanning the new entrance drive
connects the critical care tower to the existing
parking.
The open floor plan of the main lobby leads
to the new admissions center and allows families easier access from the parking garage into
the lobby. One of the unique aspects of the
main lobby is the installation of a hot air balloon mosaic that comprises 180,000 individual marbles installed in a series of 200-pound
panels. The floors are a neutral cream and gray
and include origami in the shapes of boats,
butterflies, and swans. These act as wayfinding
elements as they lead patients and families to
their destinations.
Custom digital graphics showcasing Philadelphia neighborhoods adorn the walls and
the ceilings are a mix of acoustical, drywall,
and exposed ceiling that furthers the airy, open
concept design. These interior design elements
reduce environmental stresses by creating
positive focal points.
The tower houses a 39-bed neonatal intensive
care unit with all private beds-and is designed
to expand to 47 beds in the future. The new
space brings the entire unit onto one floor.
The new NICU also features floors and ceilings
that dampen sound, and advanced communication and alarm systems.
