The new facility will feature a replacement hospital, the Center for Advanced Pediatrics, support buildings and more than 20 acres of green-space.
Additionally, plans will include health care facilities with 446 beds in two patient towers, with an attached medical office building and a consolidated AFLAC Cancer and Blood Disorders Center, as announced in November last year.
HGOR principal Bob Hughes said: “Given the research and the hospital’s goal to serve children, we knew this design needed to incorporate nature as much as possible while also considering how the staff would be most efficient.
“After understanding the effects of the natural environment on the healing process, we also found that doctors work quicker and more efficiently moving vertically rather than down long hallways.
