Yale New Haven Hospital
Courtyard and Healing Garden Terrace | New Haven, Connecticut
Yale New Haven Hospital—a leader in stroke prevention and care—is expanding its Saint Raphael campus with a new 204-bed Neuroscience Center to serve patients with movement and other neurodegenerative disorders.
Working in collaboration with architects Shepley Bulfinch and hospital administrators, Halvorson | Tighe & Bond Studio is designing a series of open spaces for the new Neuroscience Center and expanded Orchard Street Garage. Offering a variety of seating and gathering areas for staff and patients, the center includes a shared pedestrian/vehicular courtyard for drop-off and entry and an outdoor café terrace that creates a shaded, contemplative setting for respite.
The center’s fourth-floor healing garden serves an important therapeutic role and includes an accessible, looping path that reveals unique experiences as patients meander through the undulating landforms in the dappled shade garden. A fountain feature flows from the granite-edged landform, splashing into a pool below, contributing to the soothing, healing atmosphere.
