The 6,000 s.f., 10-bed Burn Center was located for direct ambulance access to the helipad. To provide maximum patient observation and accessibility by nursing staff, the unit was planned in a triangular form with a central nurses' station surrounded by patient rooms. Nursing and patient support services were located axially for ease of access from the major triangular circulation paths.

The floating canopy over the nurses' station was designed to conceal existing piping, accommodating indirect general illumination and to create an illusion of a higher ceiling height. Task lighting is achieved through decorative recessed down lights over the nurses' station and indirect circular fixtures defining patient rooms.
