The eighth floor is also a patient floor and pays homage to our great cities, including our own! All patient rooms on this floor are also private and designed to make patients and families more comfortable. From this floor, kids can peek down and see other kids playing in the Play Deck below. There is a Teen Lounge on this floor so teens can have a place of their own when they need it, and a School Room, so patients can comfortably do their school work in a quiet environment.

The seventh floor is a patient floor and is designed with a Park Theme. All patient rooms are private and large enough to better accommodate family members. There are some great places for kids to be kids on this floor. One of the most exciting spaces is the two-story Play Deck that is as beautiful as it is functional. This space provides ample room for children to engage in active play. In addition, there is a Playroom designed especially for our younger patients. All around the hospital there are places to explore to get kids up and moving when they are ready.

The new Gosnell Family NICU on the third floor is designed with a Meadow Theme. Each of the 44 private rooms is painted to look like a nursery with a mural of trees and birds and is designed to ensure greater comfort and privacy for children, families, and caregivers. The colors are warm and soothing and the space is bright with natural light. A new family lounge gives NICU parents a place to step away and sit in front of a fireplace or get some office work done. It is designed to be home-like and relaxing, so parents can recharge and get back to the hard work of helping their children get better.

The first floor main lobby is a dramatic light-filled space welcoming patients and families. Its playful architectural features are designed to help put children and families at ease. This floor includes the Ambassador Welcome Desk along with a number of family support areas, including the Ronald McDonald Family Room, just off the lobby. Two new healing gardens are accessible at this level and a walkway connects directly to Strong Memorial Hospital. Hotel vans, the Ronald McDonald House van, and the valet service will drop off and pick up families at the first floor upper loop.

The ground floor of the new Golisano Children's Hospital houses our Pediatric Imaging services and boasts a Lake Theme with calming blue tones and water-inspired elements. The exterior environments of the PET-MRI and CT scan are fashioned to look like a pirate ship and a lighthouse respectively, to help reduce stress as patients enter these areas. From this floor, you can also access the first floor lobby, as well as Strong Memorial Hospital. RTS buses will stop at the lower loop at this level.
