Pediatric Hospital

Project idea

An accredited health care facility dedicated to the specialized care of infants, children, and adolescents. Although adults may occasionally be
treated for medical conditions in these facilities, the expertise of a pediatric hospital is focused on caring for patients 18 years old or
younger.
The design of children’s hospital buildings is a key to the health and environmental performance and competitive viability of both private
and governmental caregiving centers, as now, good designs will feature hybrid configurations tailored to meet the different types of
healthcare in each and every healthcare builder.

Project description

Main entrance
The dedicated main entrance to the children’s unit is for the use of patients, careers, and visitors who require access to this facility only. In a
refurbishment, if only one main entrance to the hospital exists.
Main reception
The reception area is the focal point – it should be located in an open space directly inside the entrance and be immediately visible. Staff
should be able to see all patients and careers entering the unit and should have a clear vision of the children’s waiting/play areas. CCTV
should be installed in strategic places.
Reception desk
The design of the reception desk should be of high quality and allow access for people with disabilities.
It should take into account the varied heights and sizes of children. The countertop should have two heights; one for wheelchair‐users and
children (71 cm), and one for older children and adults at standing height for occasional writing (1 m; computers should be located behind
this part of the desk).

Technical information

 Use of efficient and water-conserving sanitary fixtures
 The waste management strategy has been considered in the project, which is also one of the vital sustainability and LEED
requirement to reduce building waste generated, by the building during construction and its lifetime operation. Dedicated central
waste storage and recycling area have been allocated to do sorting within the space or provision to sort outside by waste facility
companies.
 Automated Solar Energy Natural Ventilation(opening) system rain sensor That enhances internal
ventilation ./VSE/
 PV‐Photovoltaic Panel Renewable electric power/m2
The engineering services systems have been developed to incorporate flexibility in terms of both operation, future adaptation and
consider various features such as those summarized below. There are however practical and future provisions.
