Inova Loudoun Hospital North Patient Tower, Leesburg, Virginia | Architect: HDR | Photographer: HDR

The North Patient Tower took a measure of inspiration from the nearby Dulles International Airport with several important architectural references to the landmark. Anchoring this heritage into today’s needs, cutting-edge technologies were implemented within the facility.

They include patient-centered innovations such as low-voltage LED lighting that creates opportunity for “quiet hours”, pillow speakers to control the dimmable LED lighting, and circadian rhythm color-tuning lighting at all patient bed locations. Apollo 8 supports the needs of patients and clinical staff with three modes of operation and easy controllability. Several other luminaires, such as Seem 4 Recessed and Perimeter, Equation 2, and ID+ 4.5” Downlights adorn other areas of the award-winning hospital.
