The University of Chicago Medicine engaged site to restore new life to an existing outdoor playground attached to the Comer Children’s Hospital. The redesigned 5,000 square foot ‘play garden’ provides a safe, inclusive, and imaginative place of refuge. Elements of music, nature, and art are thoughtfully integrated into an eccentric Dr. Suess inspired garden. Various shapes, sizes, textures, and out-of-the-ordinary plants and flowers help make this a colorful, vibrant, and altogether special space for patients and family.
