HHL Architects was engaged to develop a system of interior design to make this major hospital fun for children and adults to be in, and to develop a system of graphics to facilitate the location of departments and clinics – both in a new addition as well as in existing buildings.

Combinations of primary colors keyed by floor and integrated into all signage, waiting and registration areas, and appointment cards. A system of plexiglass “banners” which incorporate identification symbols, suspended next to a graphic stripe on one side of all corridors was used, as well as a system of built-in easy to maintain seating which can be built by maintenance staff.
