PAYETTE is collaborating with Hunan Design Institute to formulate the foundation of a state of the art bio-medical research building at XiangYa Hospital in Changsha. XiangYa Hospital of Central South University is established by Hunan provincial government and Yale Society of United States in 1906. The hospital was named Yali Hospital and renamed as XiangYa Hospital in 1914. It is an integrated entity with teaching, research and medical care.
The project is a 25-story teaching and research tower. Teaching components are located on Level 1 to Level 9. Level 10 to level 25 are designated for research components. The research program includes medical research lab, PI lab, Animal Imaging (MRI/CT), large instrument facility and sample/specimen storage.
Members of the team worked with the local design institute on site and presented design concepts with innovative solutions to the hospital this summer. The 5-day intensive workshops had set the high-performance lab space planning to generate the hub of world-class research in the region.
We are honored to share PAYETTE has received two 2026 Green Good Design Awards from The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies—Land’s Sake Farm and The Ragon Institute of Mass General, MIT, and Harvard.
“Green GOOD DESIGN identifies and emphasizes the world’s most important examples of sustainable design and works to develop a public awareness program that informs the general public about which global companies are doing the best job in ecological and sustainable design for our world. Architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning projects, as well as product, packaging, and graphic design projects from over 30 nations were honored with the 2026 Green GOOD DESIGN Award.”
