INTRODUCTION
Eye Institute of Las Vegas
Las Vegas, Nevada
The Oculus Eye Institute of Las Vegas, situated in the Symphony Park Development area and the Medical District, aims to provide top-tier eye surgery and ophthalmology care services. It seeks to integrate patients with nature through medical practices, offering a comprehensive range of services including clinical, surgical, educational, and research facilities.

KU Institute of Health + Wellness Mission Statement
"Healthcare fails to connect the patient back to their natural environment to promote healing and a patientcentered experience. The traditional hospital-like design is imitating and soulless. Healthcare is moving towards a healing environment filled with sensory gardens, natural daylight, PVs, garden terraces, and water collection. Optimizing energy through this strategies pose a challenge to all multidisciplinary teams - cost. Applying evidencebased design can provide credible research to aid in the new era of sustainable healthcare design."

“The
Role of Atriums and Courtyards in Improving Natural Light and Ventilation in Hospitals”
Esraa Samir
Setting Outpatient Hospital
Sample Size
30 Doctors
Design Features
Study of internal courtyards to provide patients with daylighting and natural ventilation. Built on the north/south orientation for maxinze site features.
Care Delivery Process
Hospital seeks to achieve excellence and leadership in the field of medical research, education, and community service through dynamic interaction.
Outcomes
Healing environments with natural daylight have positive outcomes: decrease lengths of stay, reduce stress, and allow better relationships. Ventilation increases thermal comfort, saves energy, improves indoor quality.
Findings
Daylighting/natural ventilation are neglected in hospital design. Atrium is beneficial for stack ventilation. 60% of doctors agree natural light increases patients’ healing rate/70% decrease in length of stay.
Method
Theoretical study used for daylighting, natural ventilation, role of the atrium in ventilation and courtyard in hospitals. Research applies questionnaire on 30 doctors.
“Setting the Stage: A Comparative Analysis of an Onstage/Offstage and a Linear Clinic Modules”
Kara
Freihoefer
Setting Ambulatory Clinic
Sample Size
296 people/staff/physicians
Design Features
Linear clinical module: 2 procedure rooms, 32 exam rooms vs onstage/offstage: 1 procedure room, 22 exam rooms
Care Delivery Process
Provide a place for the care team to monitor patients, accessibility to patients, and a private workspace for staff.
Outcomes
Optimize operational efficiencies, staff workflow, and patient throughput.
Findings
The results demonstrate that the onstage/ offstage module significantly improved staff workflow, reduced travel distances, increased communication in private areas, and significantly reduced patient throughput and wait times by 25%
Method
Cross-sectional, comparative study consists of a mixed-method approach that included shadowing clinic staff/observation/surveys.
“A Comparative Study of Design Strategies for Lobby of Outpatient Department of Hospital Buildings”
Yizhao Sun
Setting Lobby Reception in Hospitals
Sample Size n/a
Design Features
Large central lobby design, and facade design use low energy consumption and optimize daylight.
Care Delivery Process n/a
Outcomes
Minimize energy consumption during spacedesign
Findings
Increase in the lobby’s height causes an increase in energy consumption. An increase in the skylight ratio increases energy consumption and daylight.
Method
Tested four types of lobby-form with different placements/heights.
“Exploring
the Planning and Configuration of the Hospital Wayfinding System by Space Syn
tax”
Ming-Shih Chen
Setting
Outpatient Hospital
Sample Size
30 participants (mixed age)
Design Features
Wayfinding system
Care Delivery Process
The Hospital continues to seek innovative, progressive, and diversified exchanges in medical technology, medical knowledge, and medical equipments.
Outcomes
Reduce confusion/anxiety
Findings
The results of this study show that the planning of the wayfinding system should be based on the minimal signage configuration required to meet the needs of the patients.
Method
Depth map software based on space syntax is adopted to assist in the route analysis and wayfinding behaviors.
“Impact of circulation complexity on hospital wayfinding behavior (Case study: Milad 1000-bed hospital”
Amir Ehsan Pouyan
Setting Specialized Hospital
Sample Size
30 participants (older age)
Design Features
Complexity of design layout with 5 different ward circulation patterns.
Care Delivery Process
Inclusive design, user-centred
Outcomes
Participants considered deep corridor circulation as the simplest experienced path because of its visual depth of functional spaces, and the racetrack ward circulation as the most difficult one to travel due to space resemblance for each of the wings.
Findings
Circulation patterns of the hospital significantly rely on the rate of distance trajectories, deviations from the main path and sign usage of wayfinders.
Method
Space syntax technique was used to anticipate wayfinding flow and intelligibility of the space to define the origin/destination of every task. 30 participants completed a wayfinding performance test.

Design Features
Central Atrium, Skylight, Bike Facility, Stack Ventilation, Sustainability (LEED)
Outcomes
Patient/Staff Satisfaction, Operational Efficiency, Financial Performance, Reduced Medical Errors
SUMMARY
The design of the new centre is inspired by the Moorfields crest, which carries the motto, Fiat Lux – “let there be light.” AECOM’s team is set to create a new home in St Pancras for Moorfields Eye Hospital and the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology. Designed on two wings of eight and six stories stepping from the dense urban grain to the north of the site down to the retained Victorian buildings and the trees of St Pancras Churchyard to the south. At its heart will be a mini tower called ‘the Oriel’ comprising a stack of waiting, meeting and study spaces together with main lights and stairs to all floors. The design process for the atrium has given consideration to a number of areas, including levels of brightness, acoustics, temperature and wayfinding. The landscape and interior design, inspired by light, simplicity and transparency, will stimulate the senses, promote wellbeing and help way-finding. The environmental strategy anticipates a renewable energy future and incorporation of circular economy principles.

Outcomes
Connection to Nature, Patient-Centered, Reduced Infection Rates, Life-Cycle Flexibility
SUMMARY
The building is designed around several courtyards to offer privacy and tranquility for staff and patients in a busy practice. A colonnade resembling a “steel forest” acts as a barrier between the glass facade and the urban environment. The roof structure consists of inverted “A” frame trusses supported by steel columns, forming the main facades of the building. The exterior contrasts with the cedar and ply interiors. The building’s layout streamlines patient movement from arrival to consultation completion, emphasizing a caring environment with privacy and intimacy. Smaller waiting areas adjacent to relevant functions provide natural light and views of landscaped courtyards.

FINAL DESIGN
The entrance, reception, waiting room, and optical store are all accessible to the public and have direct pedestrian access. All clinical services for glaucoma, retina, and cataract with consulting/surgery are configured adjacent to each other for staff flow and follow patient journey. Offices, storage, mechanical, security, IT, and loading/ receiving are enclosed away from public access.
All procedure rooms and OR’s are adajcent to the nurse station for staff workflow and efficency. Anchillary can be located near the nurse station and separate from patient flow access.
RESEARCH & EDUCATION
Research offices are to be near conference room. Research and Educational spaces should be connected for collaboration. Offices should be located near ASC and Clinic.
