LUCILE PACKARD CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL

Treatment capacity for an internationally renowned children’s hospital

Internationally renowned Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital had outgrown its facility and needed to increase its capacity by 12% in the 15-year interim until the construction of a new facility was complete. MKThink conducted a 22-month facility assessment that inventoried and classified square footage allocations by function, documented usage, and measured occupancy and utilization. The study identified underutilized spaces and areas for non-critical functions to repurpose for medical use. Informed by these findings, MKThink devised a strategy that right-sized rooms, increased occupancy and utilization, and relocated administrative operations off-site. The MKThink strategy captured the needed 30,000 SF in capacity, increasing space for direct patient care by 19% and workspace for staff by 32% without additional square footage.
