The Milstein Hospital Building

Design/Completion 1988/1990 New York, New York. USA Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center

839,000 square feet new construction; 497,000 square feet renovation Steel structure Veneer masonry

As the centerpiece of the Presbyterian Hospital modernization and consolidation, the Milstein Hospital Building houses 745 beds, ancillary diagnostic and treatment areas, and 22 new operating rooms.

The grid established by brick masonry with stacked bond joints contrasts with the existing hospital buildings; however, the beige-hued masonry relates the building to the larger context. The long facade of the main building is deliberately emphasized to reinforce the hospitaPs prominence as a major city institution—a teaching hospital known for its many areas of specialization. The building fronts on the Hudson River and is visible from both Riverside Drive and the Henry Hudson Parkway.

A combination galleria and concourse, the “Energy Court," serves as the major east-west circulation link between the existing complex and the building, creating a new front door on Broadway as well as providing access to all existing buildings. Public amenides such as shops, lounges, and recreational and educauonal facilities are locatcd within that link.
