Seismic Excellence Through Base Isolation

The New Stanford Hospital (NSH), designed by Rafael Viñoly Architects, has replaced an existing aging facility with a modern base-isolated structure at the Stanford University Campus. The new seven-story state-of-the-art Level 1 trauma center includes 368 patient rooms, 20 operating suites, imaging and radiology suites, and an emergency department. Following the latest healthcare trend, the hospital was designed to be patient-centric, with patient rooms located around the perimeter of four towers. All rooms are private, with large floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the surrounding campus and foothills.
