The new Claire Tow Pediatric Day Hospital and Inpatient Unit is part of a vertical expansion of the main clinical block that also includes the replacement of several key programs such as surgical pathology, surgery and central plant support. One of the key design considerations for the master plan of the vertical expansion was to move the pediatrics program to the 9th floor. This enabled the design to maximize the use of the skylights and the larger floor to floor heights. While the Inpatient Unit is located in renovated space, the Pediatric Day Hospital is contained primarily in new construction. Every design decision related to the 45,428 SF Day Hospital was made with the user in mind, including the 70' long and 20' high interactive 'bottle wall' which is constructed of large, stacked, precision-cut, stainless steel baskets filled with multicolored, different-shaped bottles and pieces of glass, all enclosed and shielded by plate glass. The natural light shining from above illuminates the bottle wall in various ways as the sun moves through the sky during the day. The potential power of this large, interactive element wasn't lost in MSK's physicians, nurses, and parents, who conducted a special fund-raising event to support its creation and installation.
As stated by the client, The MSKCC pediatrics department is a bright, hopeful and efficient environment designed to deliver the best possible care for children and young adults with cancer.
