Boston, MA-based Suffolk has been recognized with a Healthcare Facilities Symposium Distinction Team Award at the 2022 Healthcare Facilities Symposium & Expo in Long Beach, CA. This award was granted to the project team that recently completed the Hale Family Building project at Boston Children’s Hospital.

The annual Healthcare Facilities Symposium awards program recognizes design teams, projects and individuals who have made a profound contribution to the healthcare design industry.

Constructed by Suffolk and designed by Shepley Bulfinch, Boston Children’s Hospital’s new eleven-story (with three additional levels below ground), 565,000-square-foot Hale Family Building further strengthens the hospital’s commitment to patients, families and pediatric care.

Industry-leading technologies have been incorporated into the building, including an IMRIS trolley MRI system and a pneumatic tube system which transports patient samples through the building to an automation line in the clinical laboratory. The Hale Family Building is the first pediatric institution in the world to incorporate either.
