American University of Beirut Medical Center, New Medical Center Expansion

Drawing in the Light

The New Medical Center Expansion project will establish an iconic image of the AUBMC on both the campus and the skyline of Beirut with its unique profile of sunshades. Through thoughtful and intentional design, we enhanced the patient experience with improved site access and circulation; daylighting deep into the lower levels of the building; landscape and views of nature in planters at every patient room, roof gardens on two levels, and reflection garden at the entry.

Clear identities for the surgery center, cancer center, and pediatric center are expressed through the architecture as well as through the interior design and colored lighting treatments.
