Scope Of Work
Over the course of 48 months, Danis constructed a new 260,000 SF, eight-story patient tower in the heart of the Dayton Children’s Hospital campus. The new patient tower houses a comprehensive cancer and blood disorders center, a Level III regional newborn intensive care unit, a critical care complex, and a general inpatient unit. The design theme of the tower is “things that fly” to honor Dayton’s rich aviation heritage and innovation in flight. Visitors will notice themed elements the moment they cross the family-friendly lobby into the three-story atrium called the Take Flight Gallery. Filled with light, color and whimsy, this space houses a full-service kitchen and cafeteria, a grab-and-go café, and a gift shop. Visitors will also notice the main design feature in the Take Flight Gallery is the Dragonflyer, a specially commissioned piece of art that is a play space for children. When children walk into the new patient tower, they will know that this space was carefully crafted with their healing in mind.
