One of the central design objectives of the Teck Acute Care Centre at BC Children’s Hospital and BC Women’s Hospital + Health Centre in Vancouver, B.C., is to improve care delivery by optimizing access and flow, according to an article on the Healthcare Design website. The design separates public, patient and staff flows with few crossovers. Throughout the facility, there is access to natural light and views of outdoor landscaping and gardens, with patient and staff-accessible gardens on levels 5, 6 and 8.
Case study: Engineered for strength, quiet and daylight, the chosen windows help create a safe, calming and energy-efficient environment for patients and providers.
