Ronald McDonald House Long Island Jewish Medical Center New Hyde Park, NY
|
The 20,000 square foot Ronald McDonald House, located at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, is a residence where families with seriously ill children can live while the children undergo medical treatment. It includes 18 family guest rooms, a two-story family lounge and playroom, library and television lounges and communal kitchen and dining areas. There are also offices, meeting rooms and house manager's quarters.
The home is designed to be psychologically supportive. All public rooms encourage sharing among families and they are furnished in a variety of soothing pastel colors. The house faces east so it receives direct daylight in all the rooms and most of the two-story family lounge is in fact a glass-walled greenhouse which looks out on a landscaped garden. This Ronald McDonald House has been awarded a First Prize Building Award from the Chamber of Commerce, Borough of Queens. |
