Women’s ServicesBreast and ovarian cancer screening, labor, delivery, postpartum

and regular gynecological health maintenance are all examples of

specialized women’s services. Our clients recognize the benefits of

fostering a philosophy of wellness into the daily lives of women and

creating inspiring environments that engage women to participate in

their health continuum at a greater level. We have an abiding respect

for the anxieties and joys associated with pregnancy, labor and delivery,

and plan those facilities to provide maximum comfort for patients,

newborns and expectant families.

Some of life’s most poignant moments –from childbirth to a cancer diagnosis –occur in the spaces we design. Ultimately, these spaces are about people and supporting them in a quiet and beautiful way.” - Laura Morris, CHID, LEED AP BD+C, IIDA, Lean Green Belt

Click on our Thought Leader below to learn more about designing Pediatric facilities:

PediatricsPediatric environments require unique considerations. The successful planning and design of children’s health facilities must account for a wide range of age groups and family accommodations while realizing appropriate levels of safety, playfulness, education and efficiency. We never lose sight of the fact that attending to sick children and their families can be challenging and stressful for caregivers. This is what drives us to design family-centered, nurturing environments.

The design of pediatric healthcare facilities presents a myriad of issues beyond those addressed in their adult counterparts. The modalities of today’s healthcare delivery can appear threatening enough without adding an imposing institutional setting. The pediatric patient is formulating his or her first impressions of healthcare with each exposure, and whether that child comes away from the experience with a positive or negative attitude will depend on both the method of healthcare delivery and the physical environment in which it is administered. Reducing anxiety and incorporating families into treatment develops a positive attitude towards health and wellness during patients’ formative years.

Awareness of these issues is paramount to the successful design of a pediatric healthcare facility. Whether it is a large urban hospital or rural primary care facility, a stand-alone pediatric facility or an element of a larger entity, the same issues apply, with only context changes. Flexibility and adaptability become more important since the design needs to accommodate the range of size-specific equipment and instrumentation.

We start by developing a clear distinction between staff, treatment and family zones. We right-size equipment and explore opportunities for theming. The result is a facility that provides a nurturing environment, balances imagination with physical limitation, combines education with recovery, and empowers children to be cognizant of health maintenance throughout life.

University HospitalsRainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital Neonatal ICUCleveland, Ohio

The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Rainbow Babies and

Children’s Hospital — part of Cleveland’s University Hospitals

and one of America’s best children’s hospitals as ranked by

U.S. News & World Report — was undersized by current space

benchmarks. The Hospital recognized the benefits of a single-

room NICU model, but required a design that would not raise

operating costs. Array was asked to reflect the Rainbow brand in

the interior design as part of a 30,000 SF expansion to provide

an all-private room Level 3 NICU.

To promote a soothing, hopeful experience for all families, we

led a series of visioning workshops culminating in the adoption

of a design that extends the Rainbow brand by incorporating

the various colors and elements of nature in the nursing units:

Flower, Sunshine, Raindrop and Butterfly. All are used as

wayfinding icons to provide visual cues to families navigating to

their unit. A water ribbon element embedded in the floor flows

through each of the four pods.

Citing evidence-based research and findings, the Health System and Array agreed on the importance of the

private room model. The private rooms, including rooms sized to accommodate multiples, allow for parent sleep

and nursing/feeding area (with space for a comfortable chair and breast pump) while also allowing ample space

for clinicians to exam the baby. Nurse sub-stations, located between every two rooms, provides charting space

and quick access to each room while being respectful of patient/family privacy. A glass enclosed connector

bridge to the main hospital provides a dramatic new front door to the expanded unit. Colored tile panels,

museum-quality artwork and a glass-surround window seat area, offer a welcome respite for family members.

New York-Presbytarian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital of New York PICUNew York, New York

Located on New York Presbyterian’s Columbia University Healthcare Campus,

Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital of New York (CHoNY) is comprised of three

buildings, ranging in age from 10 to 90 years. Array was retained to conduct

feasibility studies and implement expansion and modernization projects for key

inpatient, outpatient and diagnostic programs in all three buildings.

One of these projects is a 14-bed Pediatric ICU with in-room family amenities

including oversized day-bed for two and in-room refrigerator. Other features

include family waiting, a consultation suite and exam/interview/prep space. A

colorful, whimsical space which appeals to all ages welcomes patients and families.

Rooms are light-filled and spacious, and breakaway doors support quick treatment

scenarios. The hospital’s literary theme - Learning through Literature - was brought

to life in this unit as The Tickle Tree and If You Hold a Seed stories play out across

soffits, footwalls and large corridor graphics. This growth and enrichment theme

appeals to a large age range and provides positive distractions for patient and

family alike.

Array works closely with hospital leadership to ensure continuity of the established

CHoNY identity and image with the goal of maintaining system-wide parity.

Working within the framework of the hospital’s Interior Design standards, the Array

team was able to design environments harmonious with the existing vocabulary

yet updating the ambiance/imagery by incorporating new elements. Each facility

improvement will help CHoNY expand undersized clinical services and allow them

to continue to be a leader in pediatric excellence.

University Hospitals MacDonald Women’s Hospital Patient UnitCleveland, OH

This patient until includes 82 single-patient rooms with flexibility to allow for semi-

private when required, upgrades to lobby and a state-of-the-art conference room.

Array initially provided conceptual designs, along with estimated costs, to allow a

potential donor to determine the amount of their donation and its resulting scope.

The project approach allows for renovations to the entire bed tower or a floor-by-

floor scenario. With the needs of patients, family members, staff and community

in mind, the interior upgrades incorporate Evidence-Based Design tenets in this

nature-inspired, “Luminosity” design concept. Technology is integrated seamlessly

into the clean-lined architecture. Ever mindful of sustainability, stunningly

beautiful - yet appropriate - interior finishes were selected for their timelessness,

longevity and ease of maintenance. In addition to architectural upgrades, finishes

and furniture, the renovation will also include new HVAC, plumbing, fire protection,

electrical, lighting, voice and data and security system integration.

Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children CICU-NICUWilmington, Delaware

The Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children operates one of the

nation’s largest subspecialty group practices devoted to inpatient and

outpatient pediatric patient care, teaching, and research. Located just

outside of Wilmington, Delaware, this 180-bed hospital on 300 acres of

parkland has experienced tremendous growth.

Array Architects was engaged to develop a Master Plan to evaluate

expansion opportunities, improve campus site utilization and wayfinding

and create a more welcoming, safe and child-friendly facility. The NICU

replacement was identified as one of the top priority projects. In addition

to all the private rooms, an adjacent Cardiac Intensive Care Unit features

the latest in cardiovascular care.

With no available space for a ground level addition, we expanded the

existing NICU on top of an existing building to create room for the

new CICU. The 21,000 SF renovation/addition provides Level II and III

neonatal services and features a Family Transition room on the unit to

educate families about the special care their infant will need at home.

We positioned a new Hybrid OR and Cath Lab adjacent to the CICU so

that it can be used as a prep and recovery space for cardiac patients. By

phasing the expansion, the existing NICU and CICU were able to continue

providing service throughout the project.

“The planning and construction of the new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit was truly a group effort. Nurses, families, and other support personnel all had input into the design and construction of the unit. Because of this approach, staff and family satisfaction has risen to an all time high.” – Coleen Davis, Nurse Manager, NICU

Capital Health Hopewell Women’s & Children’s ServicesPennington, NJ

Array Architects, in association with HKS, Inc. designed a new state-of-the-art 237-bed Replacement Hospital for Capital Health. Collaborating with Anchor Health Properties (Developer and Owner’s Representative), the design team was tasked with designing a facility that elicits a “Wow, I can’t believe this is a hospital!” To achieve this goal, the new facility features a Concierge Pavilion, a Diagnostic Treatment and Support Building and a Patient Tower all connected by atriums with healing gardens. Array was responsible for interior design as well as planning, design and documentation of several key clinical departments including Women’s and Children’s Services.

Patient safety, family-focused care and operational efficiency are the focal points for the design. The design team segregated inpatient and outpatient flow to support an exceptional patient experience. Patient rooms having inboard patient bathrooms/showers located on the headwall to improve patient safety accessing the bathroom, and maximize the opportunity for expansive views. Similar to a hotel, patients can order meals and snacks from a full scale restaurant-style menu through the “At Your Request” room service program. Family zones in each room provide family members their own space for respite while still including them in the patient’s healing process.

“[After I performed hysterectomy surgery], I found [the patient’s] two daughters by the cafe outside the surgical waiting area. [We sat by the fire] and discussed their Mom’s anticipated course and recovery. What a wonderful alternative to the crowded post-op surgical waiting area at the old [hospital]. I feel proud to be a part of this institution.

Capital Health Hopewell Women’s & Children’s Services Pennington, NJ

Using the same headwall and room configuration, we collocated the

LDR and Ante/Postpartum Unit on the same wing as private room Level

II NICU to enhance the patient experience as well as provide increased

staff efficiency. In addition, a Maternal Fetal Clinic is located in the

adjacent Medical Office Building.

Recognizing the potential appeal of an upscale retail environment, Array

designed a unique store positioned between the Nursery/PICU and the

LDR wing. Beautifully merchandised, it has contributed significantly to

patient and visitor satisfaction.

Capital Health Regional Perinatal CenterTrenton, NJ

As part of a 20+ year relationship with Capital Health, Array has worked with the administration and clinical staff at Capital’s Regional Medical Center in Trenton to renovate their facilities and respond to an increased demand for patient care services. Renovations include: Conversion to an all-private room configuration, creating a Regional Perinatal Center(moved from another campus) and updating the Trauma ICU, Emergency and Outpatient Services.

Relocation of the Regional Perinatal Center (RPC), and expansion of Pediatric Beds was part of the System’s master plan/growth strategies. The RPC reactivated 10 LDRP Beds, two Postpartum Beds, a 10-bassinet Well Baby Nursery and two C-Section Rooms. An adjacent area was renovated into a 15-bassinet Level III NICU and seven-bassinet Intermediate Care Nursery. The six-bed Pediatrics Unit was relocated and expanded to 10 Beds. Several functions were displaced by these services being renovated. This resulted in a challenging, phased renovation of a number of other areas to provide new space for the displaced inpatient rooms. The two-and-a-half year phased construction period was completed on schedule at the end of September 2011, to coincide with the Greenfield hospital Array was also designing for Capital.

Shriners Hospital for Children PICU & ORPhiladelphia, PA

With 22 hospitals across North America, Shriners Hospitals for Children

is recognized as a leading provider of specialty pediatric healthcare.

The Philadelphia Shriners Hospital focuses on spinal cord injuries and

orthopedics and was built adjacent to Temple University Children’s

Hospital. Shriners turned to Array to determine design solutions for

multiple renovations and an expansion of their PICU.

Through a close collaboration with Shriners Hospital and the

Construction Manager, the team was able to expedite the design and

construction schedules allowing the project to open ahead of schedule.

Additionally, Array studied alternatives for future facility growth based

on Shriners’ staffing model, volume increases and patient needs. This

analysis indicated that Clinics, Operating Suites and Radiology services

could be right-sized to improve efficiency.

St. Elizabeth’s Healthcare Women’s Care CenterFt. Thomas, KY

After the successful completion of the 120,000 SF St. Elizabeth Ambulatory and Urgent-Care Center, Array was retained to provide design services throughout the Health System to improve the campuses they had recently acquired.

At the Ft. Thomas campus, Array completed a new Women’s Center which includes primary and specialty care exam rooms, procedure room, physician offices, designated sub-waiting for each modality and private toilet rooms. St. Elizabeth Healthcare’s goal was to rejuvenate their brand and create a more pleasant patient experience. St. Elizabeth combined all women’s healthcare services from several campuses into one location and they sought to create a luxurious and upscale atmosphere for their patients. Array accomplished this goal by developing a palette of rich earth tones combined with comfortable furnishings to create an inviting environment. The patient-centered, centralized location also eases the stress of patients because all services are streamlined.

Sacred Heart on the Emerald Coast Family Birth PlaceDestin, FL

Array’s contributions to Sacred Heart’s main campus in Pensacola,

FL contributed to Array being asked to collaborate on the System’s

expansion hospital in Destin, FL (an hour east along the Gulf Coast) as

well as this large specialty addition – completed just a few years after

the original hospital. We worked closely with hospital staff to ensure

brand consistency between the connected, yet distinct, facilities and

provided an amenity-rich environment conducive to the birthing process

through patient empowerment, focus on comfort, family involvement

and a connection to nature.

The expansive lobby provides a grand and welcoming entrance to

the Family Birth Center, as well as access to the main hospital. The

upper floor features a full-service birthing center, complete with family

amenities including a children’s play room, resource center and respite

area. These features are making Sacred Heart on the Emerald Coast a

destination for growing families across the region.
