The VUMC plaza was recently reinvented as a
campus-wide healing garden, accessible to the
entire patient population and medical center
community. The renovated plaza sits atop an
existing 53,000-square-foot roof above two
floors of the clinical enterprise. Constructed in
1980 as part of the hospital, the original waterproofing was due for replacement, necessitating removal of existing brick, plantings, and
overburden, which had been largely untouched
for three decades. This maintenance requirement presented an opportunity to rethink the
plaza as more than a thoroughfare between
buildings, and enhance the patient, visitor, and
staff experience.
The design objective was to create an exterior
space that supported activities from independent pursuits to collegial group and family gatherings, and the completed plaza supports this
objective with diverse seating arrangements
amidst beautiful landscaping and new identifiable canopies at each building's entrances for
clear wayfinding. Multisized clusters and arrangements of seating were used to facilitate
these functions, and canopied trees and trellises
were introduced for shading. The primary technical challenge was to develop an overburden
system that was easily removable to access the
waterproofing membrane. A leak-detection system was embedded to locate failures, and the
overburden system utilized planting trays, sandset pavers, potted trees, and removable elements
to facilitate access to the waterproofing.
The organization of the plaza was driven by an
improved wayfinding strategy that emphasized
enhanced building entrances and clearly defined pathways. New exterior signage standards
were developed with placards located adjacent
to exterior luminaires, and illuminated canopies
were added to designate major building entries.
