Specifically designed for the care of children, the seven-story 425,524 square-foot patient tower provides leading-edge technology and advanced programs and services in a childfriendly, healing environment. The Children’s Hospital of Orange County’s new tower embodies the institution’s vision to become a national hallmark for pediatric care. One of the key parts achieved in the project is the client’s goal of having a fun, playful environment that always offers a piece of discovery as children and their families walk through the hospital.
​
The project includes blue glass and shell Lithocrete paving and curvilinear Sedimentary seat walls. Using glass and shells in a hospital driveway may not sound like a good idea, however, Lithocrete uses special procedures and materials that afford a very colorful yet very durable surface that also gives patients a smooth yet non-slip surface. Our patented Sedimentary walls can be tailored to any color and design requirements, yet always remain natural in appearance.
