TRIHEALTH'S HAROLD M. AND EUGENIA S. THOMAS
COMPREHENSIVE CARE CENTER
Cincinnati
IN MAPPING OUT a vision for TriHealth's
Harold M. and Eugenia S. Thomas Comprehensive
Care Center in Cincinnati, architecture
firm GBBN (Cincinnati) and landscape
architects and public space designers Realm
Collaborative (Columbus, Ohio) sought to create
a departure from the traditional healthcare
campus. The vision was to create a garden setting
that the new specialty outpatient and ambulatory
care center building would sit in.
But first, the design team had to address the
site, which was an existing parking lot adjacent
to the main hospital and primarily hardscaped
and surrounded by beds of grass.
Among the improvements to the campus setting
were consolidating parking on the other
side of campus to free up space around the
Thomas Center and increase the area available
for greenspace, including tree-lined pathways
and seating spaces near the hospital entry. The
project team also bermed the earth surrounding
the building to help it feel nestled within
the landscape.
To further maximize green space for both
the center and the hospital, the project team
proposed a roughly 3 percent increase in landscape
plantings on the site area, which represents
approximately 20,000 square feet of
newly installed vegetation-beyond the coderequired
minimum.
The groundcover and plant beds are filled
with a diverse vegetative palette, nearly all
native and adaptive species, with variation in
texture, density, and color. In areas of the site
where select trees were removed or had to be
trimmed, the work was coordinated and scheduled
to avoid the roosting of the Indiana brown
bats (a local and endangered species). Additionally,
vegetated roof terraces were created
to provide visual distraction to patients and
staff and shade the glazing to regulate indoor
human comfort. Plantings here are partially
non-native to withstand heightened wind and
sun exposure and maximize the longevity of
the design.
