Ski Oklahoma or ride the newest roller coaster in Oklahoma City?














Not sure if the latest construction at the new Children's Hospital is a ski slope, a roller coaster or the atrium that will serve as the new front entrance.

The atrium's family-friendly design makes a visit to the doctor's office or a trip to the hospital more pleasant for both patients and their families. Key elements include:

  • A nature-inspired interior including water features, natural light and calming décor
  • Retail and food service
  • A rooftop garden
  • Easy access to doctor's offices, hospital rooms and other destinations
  • Easy-to-navigate halls
  • Simplified signage to guide patients and visitors
It will expand, update and improve the facilities available to Oklahoma's children and their families.

Behind the current construction is the recently completed 14-story pediatric multi-specialty OU Children's Physicians Building.
