Al Maktoum A&E Hospital / Perkins Eastman
Our friends from Perkins Eastman sent us their design for Al Maktoum Accident and Emergency (A&E) Hospital-the newest and most sophisticated Accident and Emergency Hospital of its kind in the UAE.
Chosen by the Dubai Health Authority and the Department of Health and Medical Services (DOHMS) to create an advanced A/E hospital, Perkins Eastman designed a facility capable of providing immediate care for minor- to high-level trauma. An ambulance receiving area is directly linked to a surgical trauma operating suite and a diagnostic imaging unit with MRI, CT, and X-ray capabilities. The 300-bed, 85,000 facility includes a large, five-floor nursing unit providing specialized treatment and care for patients recovering from surgery.

^^^what he said.
it would be good, to see other parts of it, general plan, composition etc, but looks great.
The atrium looks like a great space – well lit, spacious and comfortable. I wonder how the hot climate affects it though. Is there natural ventilation or just a reliance on an oversized air conditioning system? In general this looks like a fantastic design for a hospital. Definitely an improvement on the drab old buildings dotting cities in the US.
Are there other sustainable strategies incorporated into this design? Water collection? Solar panels? Ground Source heat/coolth?
Water collection?!?!
You’re kidding, right? It’s in a desert, for chrissakes…
They put a vase in the garden.. =)
