Creating the facade of Cincinnati's West Hospital involved an artistic vision, mock-ups, a dose of technology and a leap of faith, according to an article on the Healthcare Design website. Designers wanted to make the connection between the facade and Ohio’s history as a center of production of art pottery with a mosaic tile wall system, according to the article.
Located at One Center Square, in downtown Allentown, the campus will include more than 54,000 square feet of newly constructed medical education space.
The approximately 35,000-square-foot facility is designed around the needs of patients and families, bringing together hospital, clinic and diagnostic services in one location.
