Yale-New Haven Hospital
55 Park Street Building
New Haven, CT

Yale New Haven Hospital, 55 Park StreetSet at a prominent gateway to New Haven’s downtown, the six-story Park Street Building is a major addition to the New Haven skyline and helps reinforce the region’s principal position in the field of health care and medical research. 

 



Yale-New Haven HospitalThe 150,000 SF building houses the Yale-New Haven Hospital Clinical Laboratory, and is directly linked to the new Cancer Center by an underground tunnel and a sky-bridge. The function of the laboratory is to support all of the testing needs of the adjacent Yale-New Haven Hospital. In addition to medical labs, the hospital pharmacy is located on the lower level and an auditorium with a large public-assembly area is located on the second level.

The building involves a highly complex site and program. The siting of the building, plus its entrances, scale and configuration are designed to invigorate the life of the Hospital and its surrounding community.  Completed at the end of 2009, this facility serves as a main entrance to the new Yale-New Haven Smilow Cancer Hospital and serves a number of constituencies that include doctors, administrators, researchers and the general public. The building will achieve LEED Certification.
