Sustainability, color and dynamic design characterize Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC. Occupying the former 10-acre site of an urban medical center, the facility features a 1.4 million-square-foot campus encompassing four distinct facilities anchored by the 13-story hospital and the 300,000 square-foot John G. Rangos, Sr. Research Center.
CASE STUDIES
Architects specify rainscreen systems to fulfill two primary functions: the first is to keep moisture from entering a building; the second is to prevent heat from escaping. Thanks to a collaboration between Morphosis Architects, A. Zahner Company and PPG, the rainscreen system on The Bloomberg Center at Cornell Tech does more than serve those purposes - it also works as a color-shifting wall of art.
