From the beginning of the design process, the idea of putting “the park back in Parkland” seemed only natural. The windows throughout the hospital give patients, visitors and staff a wide range of views of the gardens around the new campus, while adding splashes of natural light.
But that also helps patients heal. True to the plan to build not just a hospital, but a place of healing, the new building offers vast amounts of natural light. Parkland designers considered evidence-based studies on the positive impact of light on the healing process. Access to natural light can significantly and positively impact mood, perception, depression, energy level, pain and much more.
The new hospital has specific "on-stage" patient care areas and "off-stage" areas designated for employee work. Creating this concept gave the architects and designers the opportunity to use natural light as an intuitive navigation tool for patients and visitors. The majority of the natural light follows the paths of the on-stage patient care areas of the hospital.
The parks are not only a calming and healing element, they are also a nod to Parkland’s storied history. The original Parkland campus was located on wooded land at what is now the southwest corner of Oaklawn and Maple avenues.
