“We absolutely love our building,” said Terri Woodruff, Anna Shaw Children’s Institute executive director. “The medical elements are hidden in the forest design so that, to the children, it looks like a treehouse in the forest. Children walk in and begin playing and exploring. They are calm and playful. The anxieties that can occur at a typical doctor’s office are just not present.”
With design elements inspired by the style of a treehouse, the Institute was designed to be considerate of children’s differing abilities to tolerate light, sound, and texture. The Institute provides a unique environment with the overall goal of helping children and families live happy, healthy lives. Photo Credit: Chad Mellon
