JUNGLE THEMED EMERGENCY ROOM
CONTEMPORARY JUNGLE PEDIATRIC EMERGENCY ROOM
This dedicated pediatric emergency room brings the animal kingdom to life through a collaboration between IDS, an architectural firm, and a guest artist who provided custom character designs.
The result is a comforting, nature-inspired environment tailored to support young patients and their families during emergency visits.
-
Entrance Feature
Visitors are welcomed by a blend of murals and 3D sculpted trees that set the tone for the space. -
Nurse’s Station
A cheerful forest scene surrounds the station, complete with sculpted trees, hand-painted columns, and a glowing sun on the ceiling. Sculpted characters—including a sleepy sloth with her baby and a colorful chameleon—bring warmth and playfulness to the area. -
Waiting Room
Two interactive I Spy murals provide distraction and engagement for children as they wait, encouraging curiosity and fun. -
Exam Rooms
Each exam room is themed around a different biome, helping staff and families easily identify spaces. Frosted glass murals of flora mark the entrances, while the interiors feature fauna illustrations created by the guest artist, inspired by the IDS Contemporary Collection.
Having a dedicated space for pediatric patients is a very important improvement in care at the hospital.
Lori Anderson, operating officer
As a pediatrician, I know this will be a comforting space where children and parents can come for care without being exposed to the environment of an adult emergency room, which can face many difficult and challenging situations.
