The most comforting feeling in the world is the safety of a mother’s arms. The UWMC 6N OB Expansion is a close second. This dedicated space enhances the University of Washington Medical Center’s mother-baby unit, providing a nurturing environment for mothers and newborns. Located as a distinct peninsula within the hospital, 6N welcomes patients into the supportive embrace of the Natal Care Unit with a fresh, inviting entry. Abundant natural light from exterior windows and thoughtfully designed fixtures creates a warm atmosphere, essential for patients who may stay for extended periods. An art wall and nutrition corner in the entry hallway ensure family members feel included in the healing process. Each patient room embodies hospitality, elevating comfort while adhering to UWMC’s design standards. Earth-tone finishes and wood-look headwalls incorporate biophilic elements, while wide windows frame stunning views of the University of Washington campus. Thoughtful features—sleeper sofas, pendant lights, and geometric patterns—transform these spaces into a home away from home, ensuring durability without sacrificing comfort. Away from the hospital's hustle, the OB expansion offers specialized care and privacy, with an added sense of tranquility resulting from the lack of foot traffic to the low-activity blood lab across the hall. The flexible design of patient rooms accommodates both antepartum examinations and postpartum recovery, allowing for tailored care. The UWMC 6N OB Expansion is not just a medical space; it’s a sanctuary designed to nurture mothers and their newborns during their most precious moments together.
