The University of Kentucky HealthCare Kentucky Children's Hospital features a new, vibrant
welcome center and Neonatal Intensive Care
Unit. The new entry reinforces the KCH brand
through a sculptural design inviting patrons
from the main hospital atrium into the new
welcome center. Playful, curved apertures animate the multistory space, changing scale and
function throughout for children and adults
alike, including a skylight, seating nooks, interior windows, a framed interactive video wall,
and an opening through the floor to the ground
level lobby.
Adjacent to the new welcome center, the project reimagines how a Neonatal Intensive Care
Unit (NICU) can evolve in the future to achieve
better patient outcomes. The NICU space was
broken down into six neighborhoods of 12 to 14
beds to provide a more personal scale and increase visibility. The staff are able to dedicate
themselves to a smaller group of patients to allow better access for collaboration and care.
Private respite spaces were included for staff to
encourage huddles, support, and learning for the
academic institution. Movement through the
space is open to enable serendipitous connections between staff and families.
Environmental graphics were utilized to
create a sense of place for the hospital and the
neighborhoods within the department. These
are seen through unique mosaics depicting
various species native to Kentucky placed at
the entrances of each community and flow
throughout the many spaces to support wayfinding and brand identity. Attention was paid
to driving as much natural light into the space
as possible, through skylights and large-scale
windows.
