Lobby Nurses Station         February 1992 10,500       The Wishard special care nursery continues to be nationally recognized as a state-of-the-art Level III NICU. The success of the design was the result of a truly collaborative effort between the design team and the physicians and nurses. Much research went into the ergonomics of the space to maximize the efficiency of the caregivers while providing a nurturing environment for infants with critical needs. Full-size working mock-ups of the care area for babies were constructed to make sure that everything was in the right place prior to final construction. The area where the nursery was built was in an existing space between three older wings of the hospital.
