Designing a Water-Wise Hospital at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford
Our new Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford expansion incorporates best practices for saving water and other natural resources, including 38 percent less water usage than in a comparable hospital. Recycled water sources will save as much as 800,000 gallons of water per year.
A Little Goes a Long Way
Sustainability is a driving force behind the hospital expansion project, which incorporates water-efficient systems, a 110,000-gallon cistern to store rainwater, and the use of drought-tolerant plants, such as native grasses, shrubs, and trees. The new expanses of green space and permeable paving will handle storm runoff better than paved areas.
