A grand opening and dedication ceremony has been held for Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters Children Pavilion. The $224-million, 14-story, 364,000-square-foot pediatric mental health hospital and outpatient center is located in Norfolk, Virginia and is the only freestanding children’s hospital in the state. The facility is designed to combine the power of art and healing, in a sun-drenched environment that offers hope and inspiration to all who walk through its doors.
The project team included O’Donnell & Naccarato, Array Architects and W.M. Jordan Company. The facility features 60 private inpatient beds, behavioral and specialty clinics, a multisensory room, family lounge areas and an expansive rooftop recreation and horticultural center.
CHKD was built using a Construction Manager at Risk methodology, and incorporated many of the approaches used within an Integrated Project Delivery method. This include a teamwork-centered approach that ensures timeliness and efficiency at all phases of design, fabrication and construction.
