CCB first medical building in the world to have spectral lighting

Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center is celebrating the completion of a new Critical Care Building, a $600 million investment that involved three years of construction on the hospital's main campus in Avondale.

The 632,500-square-foot facility expands and enhances services for children, including patients needing emergency care, newborn or pediatric intensive care, cardiac care, or bone marrow transplants.

The CCB is the first medical building in the world to have spectral lighting, which was developed by Cincinnati Children's researchers. Spectral lighting is designed to mimic natural sunlight, which supports healthy sleep cycles and stimulates growth for newborns.
