Yawkey Center for Outpatient Care: Boston, Massachusetts

摘要

Adding a 440,000-square-foot clinic to an urban site already occupied by several buildings requires a talent for master planning, architecture, and logistics. Making the new facility work for patients and medical staff is no small feat, especially when the building has to attach to a historic structure and sit across the street from a busy transit station. All these constraints could have resulted in a seriously compromised design, but the team of architects working on the Yawkey Center for Outpatient Care at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in Boston used them to emphasize the building's role in establishing connections with its neighbors.
