To create a feeling of comfort and confidence at the new 300-bed Shriners Children's Hospital in Spokane, Wash., designers from Spokane-based ALSC Architects gave thoughtful consideration to user perspectives. They considered "eye level" an important variable, given the range of ages and sizes of people who may be standing, sitting, or using a wheelchair. The design team paid careful attention to window style and positioning. Stacked combinations of operable Pella Designer Series awning windows with between-the-glass blinds were specified because they offered the comfort of outside views and breezes at various levels to meet the needs of all kinds of patients and visitors.
