Enhancing the Patient Experience
The design and innovation behind CHOP’s Roberts Children's Health was creating a healing environment that blends cutting-edge technology with compassionate, patient-first care. Aiming for LEED Silver certification, the building will showcase sustainability alongside medical excellence, reflecting CHOP’s mission to be the world leader in the advancement of healthcare for children by integrating excellent patient care, innovative research and quality professional education. Delivered as a joint venture with LF Driscoll, this project will showcase:
- Patient-Centered Design & Acuity Adaptable Rooms: All-private rooms, equipped with digital tools for real-time communication with staff, promote both privacy and efficiency. These adaptable rooms can be reconfigured to accommodate future medical technologies and practices.
- Family Amenities: Lush outdoor green spaces, rain gardens, meditation areas, and a centralized third-floor connector with dining options and gathering zones.
- Advanced Facilities: Flexible surgical suites, cardiac operating and imaging complex, simulation spaces for family education.
- Technological Integration: The facility will incorporate IMRIS technology for intraoperative MRI procedures, enabling real-time, in-room imaging during surgeries. It also features digital interfaces to support communication between patients and their families, as well as high-tech simulation rooms designed for family education and training.
Engineered for structural integrity and sustainability, the tower will integrate smart infrastructure for optimal patient care and future upgrades. Sustainable materials and energy-efficient systems ensure environmental responsibility and cost-effectiveness. The design prioritizes holistic healing, with mental health, family support, and educational spaces, creating a compassionate environment for patients and families while setting a new standard in pediatric care.
