PennFIRST’s new 17-story patient Pavilion in West Philadelphia is a state-of-the-art healthcare facility designed by Foster + Partners and HDR for Penn Medicine on its extensive medical campus. The hospital’s design provides a seamless flow of operations between departments and improves staff collaboration and communication. Enclos’ scope of work on the Pavilion includes over 536,000 square feet of the enclosure, including tower curtainwall and specialty podium systems.

Stanford Hospital & Clinics’ new main hospital facility provides advanced medical technology and increased capacity and aims to transform patient care. Designed by Rafael Viñoly Architects, this state-of-the-art facility employs a modular strategy that will allow for future expansions and adaptive reuse. The structure design is a series of large glass cubes that provide abundant natural light throughout the hospital’s atrium and inpatient rooms. Unique facade features include a custom pressurized double-skin strategy to meet thermal and acoustical performance requirements and a 12,000 sqft, 114´ glazed dome atop the atrium.

Jacobs Medical Center adds 245 new inpatient beds and three new hospitals to the UC San Diego Health System’s La Jolla campus, including the Cancer Hospital, the Hospital for Women and Infants, and the Hospital for Advanced Surgery. The medical center’s building facade includes 205,419 square feet of curtainwall (2,897 units) and a 9,637 square foot point-supported structural glass wall. A curvilinear glass and frame system accommodates more than 40 radiused dimensions throughout the project, including concave and convex surfaces.
