Healthcare Design - March 2019 - 24

the NewYork-Presbyterian David H. Koch Center in New
York wasn't going to resemble your typical healthcare project. First, there was the
owner's vision to redefine its ambulatory care services, moving all outpatient procedures from the
existing main hospital at Weill Cornell Medical
Center to a new freestanding location across the
street that would embody a patient-centric experience. "It would be a very purpose-built ambulatory center," says Joe Ienuso, group senior vice
president of facilities and real estate at NewYorkPresbyterian.
Then there was the size. At 734,000 gross square
feet and 320 feet tall, the massive structure ran the
risk of resembling any one of Manhattan's largescale office buildings. "The problem is how to take
a volume like that and transform it into something
welcoming and relaxed rather than overbearing.
That's the source of this design, the effort to solve
that problem," says Henry Cobb, founding partner
at Pei Cobb Freed & Partners (New York).
Finally, based on the size and complexity, the
owner decided to enlist three design firms to oversee specific aspects of the project, with HOK (New
York) serving as architect and interior designer for
the public spaces; Ballinger (Philadelphia) focusing on medical planning as well as the interior design of clinical spaces; and Pei Cobb Freed & Partners collaborating on the façade architecture and
lobby design. "The partnership brought the best
out of each firm and led to a cohesive building,"
Ienuso says.

To guide decision-making early on, the project
team outlined six planning principles, including
providing a patient-centric and operationally efficient setting for advanced ambulatory procedures,
a coordinated network of care, and a technology-

and equipment-rich setting. One decision made in that process was to
use a templated design on all the procedure floors, including surgery,
endoscopy, and interventional radiology, to create efficiency for patients and staff. For example, fixed elements, such as walls, doors, ceiling
boom locations, and scrub sinks are consistent in these rooms, so clinicians and support service teams are familiar with the layout of the procedure rooms on all floors.
Additionally, the team established a clarity of language on project
goals with a visual design spectrum to help define the aesthetic terms,
from modern and minimalist to contemporary and Zen, to better capture exactly what the client was seeking, says Amy Beckman, principal
