OELO CASE STUDY
Children's Hospital Colorado
AN OELO LED COMMERCIAL LIGHTING CASE STUDY
PROJECT DETAILS
To help brighten patients’ stay, Children’s Hospital Colorado broke out the lights — and a whole lot of them! The private, nonprofit pediatric healthcare network enlisted Oelo Lighting Solutions to install 6,200 linear feet of permanent, color-changing lights to accent its 40-acre Anschutz Medical Campus before the holidays — and long after. The system features more than 8,265 LEDs that illuminate three buildings consisting of 14 separate rooflines. Plus, the system doubles as year-round holiday lighting to help patients celebrate other occasions.
6,200 LINEAR FEET + 8,265 LEDS + 14 SEPARATE ROOFLINES
HOW THE HOSPITAL USES ITS OELO LIGHTS
Community color to brighten stays
Featuring more than 16 million hues and 10 movement settings, the hospital can glow green for St. Patrick’s Day, patriotic colors during the Fourth of July and traditional Christmas colors throughout December. The Children’s Hospital Colorado can even root on the Denver Broncos, its community partner, with game-day blue and orange … when the hospital isn’t glowing its own iconic red, yellow, orange and blue hues.
'Every detail ... was built to help kids heal faster.'
RECOGNIZED FOR ITS CARE
Recognized by the U.S. News & World Report as one of the nation’s best children’s hospitals, the organization realizes that “kids are incredibly different and need incredibly different care.” Bringing cheer is part of that healing process, and the hospital specializes in “the big things, little things and everything in between” — even adding a little extra glow to restless nights.
THE CAMPUS' HEALING DESIGN
The Aurora location sits at the juncture of I-225 and Colfax, on the eastern edge of metro Denver, making Children's Hospital a beacon of light. The campus prides itself on its “blend of art, design and state-of-the-art technology. Every detail — from layout to patient flow, design to décor, landscaping to color schemes — was built to help kids heal faster based off evidence-based design.”
THE PERFECT HOSPITAL ADDITION
The Oelo lighting system is the perfect addition to the hospital's design, featuring a cloud-based system that gives maintenance crews the ability to control each roofline separately (or together) from anywhere in the world. Holidays and special-event lighting can be scheduled up to 12 months in advance with the Oelo lights activating automatically according to the schedule.
“We’re extremely proud of this project. The Children’s Hospital holds a special place in our hearts because we’ve had several employees whose children have been treated there, and we know firsthand how scary it can be for families going through those uncertain trails. We hope that Oelo can boost the spirits of patients, their families and the Children’s Hospital healthcare team!”
