The Charlotte R. Bloomberg Children's Center is a 205-bed children's hospital at Johns Hopkins Hospital named in honor of the mother of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg that will completely replace the Children's Medical & Surgical Center. Included in the bed numbers are a 45-bed neonatal intensive care unit and a 40-bed pediatric intensive care unit. Ten new operating rooms will be designated for pediatrics, as well as new radiology suites on the same floor as the ORs. The new Pediatric Emergency Department will nearly double the current capacity and the entry to the ED will be on the ground level lobby. Patient rooms will all be private and parents can sleep by their child in each room on a comfortable sleep sofa. Rooms will have an interactive in-house television system to play games, access the internet or watch movies. Pediatric patients can also have meals on demand and their parents will be able to order food off a menu so they may eat with their child. Whimsical sculptures by Robert Israel will be placed throughout the lobby area, which has a soaring light-filled 4-story atrium. The building will be surrounded by gardens. The children's hospital will have a new auditorium and special events area, and a two-story playroom on the 11th and 12th floors with a basketball court and giant movie screen.
