[Greenbuilding] green built hospitals?

[Rebecca Anderson]

Bobbi,
Check out the new hospital in Boulder, Colorado- it's LEED silver, and full of
art- it barely looks like a hospital!  As for hiring the art consultant- the
architect or the client would do it- depends on how the project is set up.
Hope this helps
Rebecca

Hi all,

I just got an inquiry about a commission from an art consultant who 
handles work placed in healthcare facilities, and after doing some 
Googling, I realized that there's a lot online about the role that 
art plays in health and healing.

It occurs to me that I've never seen anything about *green-built 
hospitals*....it seems like such a no-brainer to mix the two.  Are 
there such projects around the US (world?), and if so, who would be 
the person who would hire consultants, etc. for the interior design 
of the facility?  Does the architect do that?

Any information would be appreciated.
