Challenge
Renovate this nine-story patient tower on a dense urban site with limited exterior access and geometric constraints. The existing patient rooms were mostly semi-private and lacked modern IT infrastructure and patient amenities.
Outcome
Upon entering the hospital via the Wolfe Street entrance, patients and visitors are greeted with a bright, contemporary lobby space. New, private patient rooms have been completely modernized, ensuring that the patient experience aligns with that in the hospital’s new Zayed/Bloomberg Building. A new curtain wall system repairs the exterior envelope and creates an updated aesthetic that blends seamlessly with the surrounding buildings.
Ayers Saint Gross provided exterior design architecture on the team.
