Design that transforms holistic care for kids

At the heart of the facility, a two-story family resource center connects to a full-height light well, welcoming clients and families. Client and family experience is at the core of the design, empowering children with cognitive, behavioral, and physical challenges. Familiar materials on the façade—glass, stone, brick, and colored panels—arranged in a rhythmic pattern to project a playful face. Extensive gardens soften the urban site and create outdoor therapy space.

Healthcare architecture is the result of a perfect fusion of the ordinary and extraordinary, and this is manifested most creatively in environments for children.

Robert Wood Johnson University – Bristol-Myers Squibb Children’s Hospital

When the Bristol-Myers Squibb Children’s Hospital (BMSCH) on the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital campus decided to expand we planned a seventh-floor shell space in the BMSCH plus a vertical expansion to an adjacent roof area.
