Lancaster General Health (LGH), a regional healthcare system based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, offers comprehensive healthcare services to Lancaster County residents, ranging from emergency medicine and general surgery to cancer care and women’s health. The family-centered Lancaster General Health Women & Babies Hospital focuses exclusively on women’s healthcare needs, from adolescence through and beyond child-bearing years.

LGH recently repositioned the Women & Babies Hospital entrance pavilion guest services area in preparation for its 10th anniversary celebration. Chambersburg, Pennsylvania-based architecture and interior design firm Noelker and Hull Associates Inc. was commissioned to unify the entrance pavilion’s primary public spaces and accessory functions to accommodate LGH’s high-quality and aesthetic standards.

Within the scope of the project, LGH requested that an existing “Stories from Light” ceiling light sculpture in the Women’s and Babies lobby area be retained in place and emphasized in the reception pavilion’s design. The design team was asked to envision the space renovation without budgetary restraint and to produce hospitality-based design concepts in the entrance pavilion that could be implemented across the campus during future renovations. The reality of budget constraints for the new design would be dealt with only after approval by the LGH leadership team.
