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.
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.
