Art and color themes help patients and visitors find their way. The color blue was chosen for the Bloomberg Children’s Center and the color green for the Sheikh Zayed Tower. The moment you step off an elevator, the palette of colors will tell you where you are.
Each elevator lobby also features original artwork. In the Bloomberg Children’s Center, art inspired by children’s books delights our youngest patients and provides their families with memorable ‘landmarks.’ In the Zayed Tower, art inspired by nature and the garden is located outside each elevator bank and displayed throughout waiting rooms, corridors, and staff work stations, bringing an element of peace to the busy hospital setting.
