Children's Hospital Boston, Berthiaume Family South Clinical Building
Boston, MA | 2005
Recipient of Modern Healthcare's 2006 Award of Excellence, the 11-story Berthiaume Family South Building contains the most advanced medical technology available, including the MROR, the nation's first mobile, intraoperative imaging system of its kind. This complements a healing environment designed to support young patients and their families while enhancing communication and staff productivity. The addition laterally expands the functions of the Main Building, unifying new and existing facilities so they function with minimal separation. The addition includes two family-centered intensive care units: a cardiac ICU and medical surgical ICU. Two floors accommodate 48 acute care beds in units designed to adapt as acuity levels change.
This marks the latest phase in the firm's 90-year partnership with Children's Hospital Boston. Project challenges included building on a tight urban site that required the relocation of underground utilities and a street.
