New York-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital

The project goal, simply stated, was to provide the most medically and architecturally innovative pediatric intensive care unit in existence. The medical planning criteria: large private patient care rooms, with identical layouts, high visibility, decentralized nursing, and adequate equipment and staff support. Design criteria: comfortable and spacious family spaces with a broad range of amenities, safe “wandering” paths, and a range of environmental cues to reduce stress for both the family and patient.
