The project scope consisted of a new 8-story patient bed tower and a series of large scale renovations on an existing healthcare campus in the US.
Hospital Campus Bed Tower Expansion
The bed tower employs the same 45-degree angle organizing the existing campus to link back to the adjoining tower to the west, forming a jutting triangular front facade to the east.
The façade for the north and south facing area of the tower is a rationalized representation of the original campus design intent while proposing a hierarchy of the original horizontal precast façade found all over campus. Introducing metal panels, glazing, and colored fins on the North, the South uses a Rainscreen.
Hospital Campus Renovations
The original basement dining area of the hospital was divided into an interior and exterior space. The exterior sunken space was never utilized or enjoyed. To revitalize the dining and create a new visual connection to the floors above, the dining area expanded and the open volume extended up 3 stories.
With the suggested renovation, the areas surrounding the main lobby all look in and gather light and way finding from the activated 3 story volume.
Hospital Campus Renovations
The suggested new hospital main entrance is molded into a singular curve following the original retaining wall and encasing the expanded new dining area below reducing the original stepped façade and large cylinder vestibule.
