Overview

The 30-bassinet Neonatal Intensive Care Unit combines state-of-the-art technology and streamlined planning that address patient, family and clinician needs. Private patient rooms include adjustable lighting, balanced acoustics, infection control, and family spaces. Optimal sightlines between nurses' stations and patient rooms and access between adjoining patient rooms optimize caregiver work flows. Throughout the unit, perimeter windows and open work areas bring daylight deep into the space. Energy-efficient building systems and low-VOC finishes further enhance the indoor environment.
