American-Sino OB/GYN/Pediatric Services operates private hospitals and outpatient facilities catering to an international clientele in China. Seeking to expand its services with a new hospital that meets both Chinese and international standards, the company conducted an international conceptual design competition to select a firm to provide architectural, interior design and structural engineering services for a new, 100-bed women’s hospital in the city of Ningbo. Gresham Smith developed the winning proposal, using a combination of evidence-based and Lean design strategies to design a space that improves health outcomes and operational efficiencies while increasing patient, family and staff satisfaction.

Sixteen LDRP executive suites, four LDRP presidential suites, two C-section suites, four operating rooms, four NICU beds, two ICU beds, 64 inpatient beds, and 32,000 square feet of outpatient clinic space will serve American-Sino’s goal of delivering the highest quality OB/GYN and pediatric care and fostering long-term patient relationships. Amenities will also include a patient and staff cafeteria, a grand lobby, a top-floor VIP lounge and a 250-car underground parking area. To respect privacy and deliver the utmost personalized service, patients in the LDRP presidential suites will have access to their own check-in, delivery and recovery spaces.
