Campaign Spotlight: Children’s Hospital Design Not Childsplay

The outlines of two glowing blue children—Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin’s logo—stand atop the hospital’s new west tower expansion and illuminate the Milwaukee skyline. The new building’s walls are covered in over 800 pieces of the hospital’s patients’ artwork, but that’s not where the young patients’ influence ends. Every detail of the new wing was designed with its pediatric patients’ health, safety, and happiness in mind.

“Children’s Hospital’s new west tower utilizes principles of evidence-based health care design, which means creating environments that are therapeutic, supportive of family involvement, efficient for staff performance and restorative for workers under stress,” Children’s Hospital stated in a press release. “The goal is to achieve the best possible results for patients, families and staff while improving utilization of resources. The physical environment represents a key component in providing family centered care in pediatric settings.”
