Yale-New Haven Hospital (YNHH) is the primary teaching hospital for Yale School of Medicine and Yale School of Nursing. The main campus of YNHH comprises four pa- vilions, connected by a central atrium. One of these pavilions is the 14-storey Smilow Cancer Hospital (North Pavilion), and it was the 2009 renovation of this pavilion that prompted the hospital to upgrade the atrium to the same level. As the focal point in welcoming patients, the hospital wanted the three-storey atrium to be the hub of the building - a place for patients to spend time in and relax - by be- ing welcoming and pleasantly bright without causing glare. However, the original atrium had never in- corporated an integrated lighting approach, and being nested between high buildings, natural daylight was limited, leading to a gloomy feeling - even in the daytime. The hospital turned to Lam Partners to deliver a lighting solution that was subtle,
sufficiently bright, and that harvested the available daylight. It was also important for visitors to be quickly oriented when they entered the building given there is four separate pa- vilions in each corner of the atrium. The hospital wanted a lighting solution that would help visitors quickly and effortlessly identify the correct treatment pavilion entrance upon arrival. And, should guests need assistance during their stay, it was important that the information desk be eas- ily identified. Finally the hospital wanted to highlight the wood paneled walls with complementary lighting, limit maintenance requirements to reduce costs, and easily control and manage the light at any given moment. Achieving these lighting objectives also provided fixture installation challenges. The atrium had been newly renovated and, because of the risk of damaging the new terrazzo floor, mechanical lifts could not be used for installation or maintenance. Because of these challenges, all fixtures had to be installed within the reach of a 12ft ladder. Working against these challenges and requirements a solution was designed using Lumenpulse’s Lumenfacade family of products as well as a Zumtobel Miros projector/mirror system on the columns. To quickly orient visitors, each of the atrium
corners, above the four pavilion entrances are grazed with colour. The system enables the hospital to identify each pavilion with a unique colour, or gradually rotate through a subtle colour changing show. Using Lumen- facade Remote RGB fixtures, each entrance is now easily identified by colour changing illumination. A free standing stone wall is positioned be- hind the reception desk and the wall is now grazed with white LED light from Lumenfa- cade (3000K) fixtures, making the reception desk a focal point of the atrium, and an easily identifiable contact point. 3000K Lumenfacade fixtures graze the woodwork on the walls around the atrium with close attention paid to sight lines from upper levels for each fixture to avoid glare when looking down, or descending the stairs. With a very tight space in which to mount the fixtures, a 10°x60° optic was used to produce a narrow beam throwing light in exactly the right place, and nowhere else. A Lumentouch Intelligent Control Keypad is located behind the information desk for full control of all the lighting in the atrium, enabling white light to be easily adjusted to suit the levels of natural light at any time of the day or night.
