Project Description: The Taoyuan Branch of Chang Gung Hospital, is the single largest medical facility in the world developed on a 17.5ha site by Formosa Plastics, owners of a number of private hospitals in Taiwan. The gross GFA of the building is 280,000m2. mcg+c were commissioned for site planning, design, documentation and site review of the entire external works including green roofs. The facility has approximately 3000 beds servicing both day surgery and a large percentage of patients who generally stay for periods longer than three months. The site program was conceived from the psychological notion that landscape is important in the healing process for patients. Design components included extensive roof gardens, an outdoor cafe, interactive water features, walking trails, sun dial, tea gardens and outdoor art/craft workshop plazas. Storm water from the building is channelled to a thirty metre long cascading viaduct into an elliptical wetland detention pond for recycling as irrigation. All non potable water for the project is supplied through a black water treatment plant. The building is designed to accommodate social and medical advancements well into the future.
