Last April we shared plans for a partnership between Seattle Children’s and the University of Washington (UW) to develop affordable, multi-family housing in the U-District. This fulfills Children’s commitment to replace affordable housing in northeast Seattle while contributing to a vital urban neighborhood.
Children’s and the UW participated in a competitive selection process to find the best development team for this project. Security Properties, in partnership with GGLO Architects, emerged as the team of choice, given their established Seattle presence, understanding of the local market, and commitment to the project’s mission and goals.

OK Waldo fans, it’s safety time. Just like when you wear a helmet when you ride your bike, construction workers have all kinds of special ways they stay safe. Construction can be dangerous work. Workers have to move heavy loads, use big machinery, tools and powerful equipment. Lots of things are moving and changing all the time, and workers need to stay safe. Can you see some of the ways the workers are being careful? Some of these are even required for everyone who enters the construction site, no matter what they’re doing: Read full post »
Work continues on the excavation for, and forming of, a retaining wall on the west side of the Janet Sinegal Patient Care Building. It is scheduled to be completed by Jan. 13, 2012.
In keeping with the natural elements around the hospital, the wall will have an embossed design in the concrete. There will be an area for plantings between the retaining wall and the existing offices on the ground level of the Train zone, so over time the wall will be obscured by plants that grow over it.

Seattle Children’s held a design event in November to provide valuable input into design of the new Emergency Department (ED).
For this event, a full-scale mock-up of the proposed ED was set up on the construction site in the actual space that will become the ED. Then, representatives including ED physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, techs, parents, social workers, Child Life specialists, pharmacists and staff from Security Services, Patient and Family Relations, Environmental Service, Information Services, Facilities and hospital leadership, came together to “test” four different exam room designs as well as the overall flow and layout. The team provided feedback on things that worked well, and elements that needed revising. Read full post »
