The Irene and George Woodruff Family Residence Center Atlanta, Ga.

摘要

The Irene and George Woodruff Family Residence Center in Atlanta, Ga., is an on-campus residence facility of the Shepherd Spinal Center, a not-for-profit hospital dedicated to the care of catastrophic spinal-cord injuries. The objective of the 87,000 ft~2 (8100 m~2) facility is to keep families involved in patients' rehabilitation and to provide emotional support during therapy and training. Accessibility to meet the needs of users who face innumerable physical challenges had to be the top priority for designers. Because it is a not-for-profit hospital, the $14.1 million construction budget had to be stretched as far as possible.
