Phoenix Children’s Hospital Installing LEDs as Part of Expansion

Another prominent Arizona institution has chosen to install energy-efficient, sustainable LED lighting. In 2008, The Phoenix Children’s Hospital began a $588 million expansion to the facility, which includes an 11-story tower for the young patients, along with the hospital’s six centers of excellence. Another part of the expansion is installing LED lighting to the 770,000 square-foot hospital. Hubbell Lighting will be replacing old fluorescent lighting throughout the facility, including recessed downlights, LED exit signs, and LED outdoor garage lighting. Also, thanks to exterior LED lighting, people will be able to see the hospital from 25 miles away in any direction. As Arizona’s only children’s hospital, and one of the 10 largest children’s hospitals in the United States, the people behind the expansion plan were sure to keep their youthful patients in mind. In the atrium, LED lights were installed on the floor so children could watch the floor change colors as they jumped from panel to panel.
