WORLD’S FIRST LEED PLATINUM CERTIFIED FULL-FLEDGED HOSPITAL
Memorial Bahcelievler Hospital has been awarded the most prestigious green building "LEED" Platinum" certificate, given only to the leading institutions regarding energy and environment-friendly design. Amongst the certificate programs of USGBC (United States Green Building Council), the certificate ranked to be the highest was given to a full-fledged hospital for the first time in the World and Turkey, and that was Memorial Bahcelievler.
GREEN HOSPITAL CONCEPT The interior and exterior spaces of the Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital, which has been built with an environmentally conscious approach, were designed by considering the positive effects of green spaces on human health and psychology. Living plants that will reflect all seasons, life cycles, and biorhythms within the hospital will make the patients and their relatives and the employees feel present within nature. The landscape arrangement, in which non-allergic natural plants have been preferred, also adds an aesthetic appeal to the city's architecture. The Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital was built under environmental sensitivity, within a spectrum extending from energy efficiency to waste management and from sustainable area planning to indoor quality criteria. THE HEALING POWER OF ART Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital draws attention with its "timeless designs" in which daylight is used to its maximum extent for the positive effects of green and the artistic healing power reflected in architecture on patients and their relatives' psychology. "Art" is one of the main themes of the Memorial Bahçelievler hospital that famous consultants have created on acoustics, landscape, lighting and design under the leadership of Memorial's experienced project team.
A CENTER OF ATTRACTION OF FOREIGN PATIENTS AS WELL Memorial Bahçelievler, the 11th hospital of the Memorial Health Group, which accepts patients from 167 countries globally, is also of great importance for foreign patients thanks to its specialized departments that consist of a reference center in the international arena.
