Blank Star & Development Center

Project Description

This new two-story facility for Blank Children’s Hospital houses the Developmental Center on the upper level, providing diagnosis and treatment for children with developmental, behavioral, and physical conditions. The lower level is home to the STAR Center, which supports children affected by abuse, drug exposure, or in need of additional care to thrive.

The building features a playful, complex façade with color-shifting metal panels, a bright atrium with a custom feature stair, numerous exam and counseling rooms, a large conference center, and an outdoor garden for patients and families.
