The final element in Yale-New Haven’s planned development of its core block, this 14-story center consolidates and expands the many oncological functions which were previously scattered throughout the Yale-New Haven Hospital complex. It also links to adjacent parking structures and the Children’s Hospital via pedestrian bridges. Landscape elements designed by Towers|Golde include an arrival plaza, richly-detailed streetscape and a large, seventh level roof-top healing garden.

Towers|Golde’s 30+ year relationship with YNHH includes the 1989 design of the Children’s Hospital and planning and renovation of the entire complex in the early ‘90s. The current effort also involves site planning and documentation for zoning applications affecting a several block area with parking structures, retail development and pedestrian and vehicular circulation. Detailed design issues include site lighting, signage and the sustainability concerns related to LEED certification.
