Boston Children’s Hospital Promotes Quiet Environment

Hospital settings can be intimidating for children. Machines, equipment, alarms and general hospital noises increase the need for acoustic and environmental solutions to promote a healing environment for young patients. Completed in 2013 and formally dedicated on June 3, 2014, the James Mandell Building at Boston Children’s Hospital is the latest major children’s treatment facility to showcase patient rooms outfitted for maximum comfort, especially for longer hospital stays. The 10-story urban infill building provides expansion space for the emergency department, imaging, same-day surgery, neurology, pharmacy and four floors of new inpatient beds.
