Greenwich Hospital
Greenwich Hospital installed two uniquely engaging Luminous SkyCeilings in the radiation treatment area of the hospital's new addition. The 6'x8' Rectilinear Luminous SkyCeiling features a tapestry of gold, brown, and orange Fall foliage backed by a clear blue sky. The hospital also purchased an alternate set of SkyTiles featuring a fresh Spring scene.
The 10"x14" Elliptical Luminous SkyCeiling, one of the larger elliptical SkyCeilings the Sky Factory has created, features a skyscape of layered clouds that lead the eye up into seemingly infinite space.
Greenwich Hospital in Greenwich, Connecticut is a 174-bed regional hospital, serving lower Fairfield County, Connecticut and Westchester County, New York. It is a major academic affiliate of Yale University School of Medicine and a member of the Yale New Haven Health System.
Since opening in 1903, Greenwich Hospital has evolved into a progressive medical center and teaching institution providing all medical specialties and a wide range of medical, surgical, diagnostic and wellness programs.
Staying on the forefront of patient-centered care, in 2007 the hospital opened a separate 7,500 square foot Center for Integrative Medicine. The Center was designed using Feng Shui principles and "green architecture". The Luminous SkyCeilings also provide a connection to nature that has been found to help alleviate patient stress.
The rich Fall scene above fills patients and staff with the warmth of turning leaves.

The pleasantly curved elliptical form creates a portal to an engagingly authentic cloudscape fringed with blossoming trees and foliage.
From an installation and construction perspective, this photograph shows what a well executed interior plenum space looks like. Two aspects of this installation are particularly striking: the relationship of the ellipse soffit inset in the larger rectangular soffit, and the way the face of the SkyCeiling is deeply imbedded, approximately 6-inches, up into the soffit. Notice that the perimeter comes attached to pre-assembled plywood plates which are re-assembled on the job site and then built into the soffit.
Note: In the photograph, the mounting plate covers part of the lighting, but the plate was reduced for the final installation.
