The clinic accommodates hundreds of physicians in 32 specialties with a dense labyrinth of operating suites, procedure rooms and 257 standardized examination rooms. Notwithstanding rigorous technical constraints, the clinical setting was humanized by the introduction of a central skylit atrium to aid orientation in this very large building and by the creation of other indoor and outdoor spaces designed to promote personal interaction and a sense of well-being. The whole aims to provide a healthy environment, both physical and psychological, for all the clinic's users, doctors, patients and family members alike.
