Inspired by Atlanta’s reputation as “a city in a forest,” the design of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta’s Center for Advanced Pediatrics amplifies natural elements to support children with complex medical issues’ healing.

The pediatric ambulatory care center brings specialists, modern technologies, and advanced research together for comprehensive outpatient pediatric care. A curved wood wall wraps up the ceiling to create an abstract, whimsical tree canopy that assists with wayfinding as visitors move through check-in and into the waiting area.

Expansive windows offer ample daylight and garden views, while pops of color emphasize destinations and help families navigate between clinics. Petal-shaped elements appear throughout—from the shape of the architectural skylights to the light fixtures and the experiential graphics.

Page's “Nurture through Nature” design approach blurs the lines between the outdoors and indoors, creating a playful, children-first atmosphere that sets the tone for this healing environment.

A warm welcome and clear path forward

At the Welcome Desk, families are gently guided toward the clinics with brightly colored, thoughtfully angled portal entries that naturally draw them in the right direction. Ample daylight and access to the gardens lower stress.

Bright, bold, and playful

Springing from a “Nurture through Nature” theme, the graphics effortlessly knit the space together with intuitive wayfinding and playful iconography, creating a comforting, kids-first atmosphere designed for healing and joy.

“Walking into Children’s Center for Advanced Pediatrics, my granddaughter Kennedy was wide-eyed at the openness, and for once, did not feel boxed-in like other doctor offices. She felt very at home in her surroundings.”
