Loveland, Colorado, USA

Poudre Valley Health System set out to build a state-of-the-art facility that not only promoted health and healing but also supported the environment and the well-being of the hospital’s staff. The oversized windows in patient rooms created an open, airy setting with abundant natural light, further promoting a positive, healing environment. 

Along with the large amount of natural light created by the four-story atrium, the warmth and tranquility of the space contributed to the welcoming, resort-like environment. The team utilized an integrated curtain wall, equipped with both sunshades and light shelves. This combination of products would reduce solar heat gain and bounce indirect light into the atrium, saving energy costs and providing daylighting throughout the main area.
