Allentown, PA - W2A provided design
services for the relocation of the Pediatric Specialty Practices from LVHN’s
Muhlenberg campus, into 16,000 square feet of the 1210 MOB, on its main I-78
& Cedar Crest Campus. This move enables the practices of: Pediatric Pulmonary Medicine and Cystic Fibrosis; and Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Neurology and Nutrition, to grow their practices and provide essential pediatric
specialty services in an exciting and child-friendly environment convenient to
the main hospital facility. Although spatially the different groups are
contiguous and share common spaces and services within the suite, each specialty
was provided with a unique color identity from a shared palette, which also
provides excellent cues for architectural
wayfinding.

A water theme symbolically flows
through the spaces as a wave on the walls, floors and privacy window films; with
each exam room having its own “beach” inviting patients to enter from the
Corridor. Materials are durable, and provide interest and excitement for
both the pediatric patients and their families. Visual interest and patient
privacy were achieved with
the use of colorful semi-opaque resin panels, incorporating both the
nautical theme and the color branding of the individual specialties throughout
the space. Thoughtful placement of ceiling soffits mimicking clouds floating
above the beach, provides focal elements and enables spatial orientation in the long corridors. The clouds also add variety to the physical scale of the
spaces, evoking pleasant sensory experiences for the staff, pediatric
patients, and their families.

"I want to thank each and everyone for all of their extraordinary efforts in developing the beautiful Pediatrics Specialty Center practices' space at the 1210 building. This is the most beautiful design I have ever seen for a physician's practice!
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we moved around the various hurdles that presented many challenges for you all as well. It was a true pleasure working with all of you!"
