Hasenstab Architects is providing programming, planning, and professional design services for the Main Street Renovations at Akron Children’s Hospital. Phase 2 encompasses a number of updates to several areas within the main hospital building and includes two new departments: the Unity Center and the Family Resource Center. When all phases are completed, the project will transform the main hospital building, providing an enhanced wayfinding system and an updated interior design.

The Family Resource Center serves as a hub where families can connect with community organizations and staff from Akron Children’s. The space features seating areas, classrooms, offices, and a library to provide resources and education for both patients and staff.

The Unity Center houses the Akron Children’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion team and serves as a welcoming space for patient families, employees, volunteers, and community members.
