Healing Environments

Our next studio project is a small healthcare projcet where we are able to choose the type of healthcare facility we will be designing. In doing some reasearch I found some information about children's hospitals, an area that I am very intrested in.  Going to the hospitalS can be a tragic experience for a child and it is our jobs as designers to create a comfortable environment where they can feel at home...

CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF CHICAGO
Pierce manufacturing donated a fire truck to children's memorial to help the hospital recreate a replica of the historic firehouse located across the street from the new facility.
Chicago's shedd aquarium donated to the hospital a 30-foot sculpture of a humpback whale and her calf that it needed to relocate.
