Randall Children's Hospital
Randall Children's Hospital
Randall Childrens Hospital is designed by ZGF Architects. Designing a healing environment for children and families under stress is a unique opportunity. The overarching goal was to create a place full of inspiration, with a sense of unexpected discovery and thoughtful distractions, in an environment that is comfortable for all ages. Based on proven research that children have a strong affinity for imagery found in the natural world, a primary design driver was to celebrate the diversity of the Oregon and Southwest Washington regions. And last, but not least, was to put families at the “center” of care, as studies have shown that children heal better when their family is directly involved.
The design of the new hospital incorporates many sustainable design strategies and follows “The Green Guide for Healthcare.” The building envelope includes high performance glazing and increased thermal insulation that exceeds Oregon Energy Code minimum energy standards.
