Continuing its long association with Mount Sinai Medical Center, Pei Partnership Architects is designing a 7,800 square foot state of the art clinic for the Brookdale Department of Geriatrics and Adult Medicine. The new facility will allow for a 30% increase in patient caseloads over the course of the next 15 years.

The clinic, which is currently in an off-site building, will be located on the main campus of the medical center. It will, however, continue to maintain a distinct identity from the rest of the hospital through the design of a new entry canopy. The proposed symbol for the clinic is the bonsai tree because of its longevity and great beauty. The design of the clinic therefore establishes a zen-like simplicity of beautifully detailed materials and well-lit public spaces that flow into each other in a logical path of progression. Transparent and translucent fixed and sliding glass partitions enhance this effect.

The Martha Stewart Center for Living at Mount Sinai hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony on October 9, 2007.
