title: Design of the New East Hospital (Shanghai, People's Republic of China).
abstract: We feel very fortunate to have been involved in the project at East Hospital. Because the clientele is so vastly different in China, JMGR has been challenged to produce a facility that is extremely design oriented, giving us an opportunity to push the limits of design and aesthetics to create a unique solution to project opportunities. Our clients at East Hospital are eager to possess a contemporary building that demonstrates their commitment to progress. They desire a building that makes a statement about their country's entry into the global marketplace. We believe the design of East Hospital encompasses these client desires, while at the same time, elevates the facility to meet modern international standards. Our work at East has, in turn, led to the involvement with other Chinese clients. Today, JMGR has a total of six projects either completed or under design in China.
