Large bay windows at office and staff areas. (Though staff complain of not enough access to daylight) |
Stairs have windows to encourage use by staff and doctors. Daylight in the stairwells also increase safety. |
| Skylit atrium garden brings daylight and nature to the heart of the campus. | Patient waiting areas have windows. Sunshades protect interior from glare |
| Remodeled lobby space is spacious, skylit and bright. (Perhaps, a little too hot for the security desk.) | Glass and steel canopy is a special feature at the front of the building. |
| All glazing is highly transparent emphasizing openness. In most places glazing is spectrally selective. | Glazing has minimal reflectivity to maximize blending into the neighborhood. |
