Façade installation is finishing up on The Victoria and Lloyd Goldman Health Care Pavilion, a 15-story medical facility for Lenox Hill Hospital at 1345 Third Avenue on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Designed by Ennead Architects and developed by Northwell Health and the University Financing Foundation, the 215-foot-tall structure will yield 200,000 square feet of outpatient treatment space for specialized cancer care services, imaging and lab testing, cardiac care, neuroscience programs, a sleep study center, acute and chronic disease management, social work services, and more. The $450 million project is located in Lenox Hill between East 76th and 77th Streets.
The building’s reflective glass curtain wall and gray paneling reached the flat parapet since our last update in November, when the upper levels of the steel-framed superstructure remained exposed. The final floors above the setback are now fully clad with the exception of the gap in the broad western elevation where the construction hoist remains attached. The ground floor is also still incomplete behind the sidewalk shed. Interiors should be well underway at this point.

Work is further behind on the rear eastern elevation, where the core is located. This side of the building is being clad in flat black paneling over its concrete walls, which are mostly devoid of windows.

The Victoria and Lloyd Goldman Health Care Pavilion is planned to offer care for numerous cancer types including breast, gastrointestinal, colorectal, gynecologic oncology, head and neck, and thoracic. During construction, surgery and inpatient care in Manhattan is being provided by other affiliated hospitals, including the neighboring Lenox Hill Hospital and Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital at 210 East 64th Street.

Wow, there’s a lot going on here for a seemingly simple form. I really like the fritted strips on the pleated windows which will do a lot to prevent more dead birds. But choosing black for the backside is bizarre and unfortunate. All in all, it’s an interesting design that could be from the ’50s but is better.
the sandy red ground level and rear as shown in the renderings would have been a warmer tie in to the residential neighborhood surrounding this oversized medical center.

This is a medical office building, not a condo
I’m looking forward to seeing this new addition to

It is rather depressing to look at this black facade from 79th and Second whereas the front on 3rd looks pretty good.
