This project is the design and build-out of the entire 8th floor of the existing Memorial Hermann Pavilion, located at Memorial Hermann Hospital-Texas Medical Center. The Roger Clemens Foundation donated additional funding and memorabilia to augment the Pediatrics portion (20,000 GSF) with a baseball-oriented design. The design team created an experience for patients and family that emphasizes how family support is the foundation for personal achievement. The design principles were:
Empower patients to get healthy and succeed;
Support CMHH family care concept;
Mask the image of “hospital” through nontraditional tactile and visual distractions;
Create a fun working and healing environment for staff and patients.
The design solution simulates the experience of going to a game with family – structured around multiple strategies for achieving effects of spatial depth with a ballpark-like atmosphere supported by baseball-related props. The main corridor announces the arrival to the four unique stadiums that Roger Clemens played at during his career.
