The
Drawings + Documents Archive is pleased to announce the recent
donation of building and landscape models for the new Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital and Eskenazi Health campus in Indianapolis. HOK led the design
team of architects and landscape architects that includes RATIO Architects, BSA
LifeStructures, A2SO4, Blackburn Architects Inc., Olin, Context, PlatinumEarth,
and Synthesis Inc. The hospital, which just opened four months ago, stands
11-stories tall, contains 1.7 million square feet, and cost $754 million
to build. It is expected to achieve LEED Gold certification and boasts, among
many state-of-the-art features, the “Sky Farm,” a rooftop vegetable garden
intended to provide food for staff, patients, and visitors.
The models depict the hospital building and the landscape plan along the north side of the building's entrance. Both are currently on display in the College of Architecture & Planning Gallery.
