Touring Some Top Hospital Designs
April 29, 2016In the healthcare industry, the architectural design of a care center is integral to the experience of both patients and staff. When you are gearing up to build a new hospital, or expanding an existing hospital with a newly updated wing, you should be sure to hire top Tucson architects to help you with your design. An architectural firm that specializes in healthcare projects can provide you with unique design elements for your hospital. To help you get started with planning, here is a look at some of the top hospital designs.
Healing Tree in Australia
The Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital in Brisbane, Australia relied on unique design cues from the natural world for its overall architectural plan. The architects involved with this project designed the hospital as a sort of living tree. The main areas of the hospital are designed vertically to form the trunk, and each wing stems from the trunk in the manner of a branch.
Flexible Energy Use in Ontario
Many other hospitals are deciding to go green in their architectural designs. For example, the Halton McMaster Family Health Clinic features utilities that can be adjusted with the activity level of the facility. For example, the lighting energy and water efficiency can be altered depending on the daily demands of the hospital.
Flexible Design Strategies in New York
The Memorial Sloan Kettering’s Josie Robertson Surgery Center in New York was designed with flexible features that had the staff in mind. This newly updated hospital wing has workstations that can be altered for the demands of the staff. Other communal spaces help to encourage camaraderie and collaboration among staff members.
