About the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

The NICU at the Pavilion features state-of-the-art private rooms, allowing families to stay with their infants 24 hours a day. Rooms feature sleeper couches, and shower and laundry facilities are available in the building.

Infants are cared for by board-certified neonatologists, and a neonatal specialist is always in the hospital, 24 hours a day. They are supported by our trained professionals, including nurses, dietitians, respiratory therapists and pharmacists.

NICUs are nationally classified in levels I - IV depending on the care they are able to provide. The Women’s Pavilion NICU is a Level III NICU, and is equipped to care for babies greater than 26 weeks gestation. Level IV NICUs in Memphis are available at The Med and at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital. Infants in need of more specialized services are typically stabilized and transferred to Le Bonheur.

A Sustainable Design to Care for Generations to Come

From the selection and care of the landscaping on campus, to creating the safest indoor air quality for the tiniest of patients, special measures were taken to earn Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold Certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. Designing a new building from the ground up gave us the opportunity to create a sustainable, healthy building. Here are some of our favorite green features.

The building is enveloped in highly insulated walls, with a solar reflective roof and low-emissivity glass to reduce energy use, and low volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were used in paints, coatings, sealants and composite wood products to help create purer air and better health.

The land the Pavilion was built on was formerly home to the Germantown Baptist Church Seminary. 90 percent of the demolition was recycled - crushed and repurposed into road pavement materials in the region.

The landscaping incorporates drought resistant planting and “hydro-zoning” of plants, which groups vegetation with similar water requirements together to save water. Low volume and pressure regulated drip irrigation is also employed.

Sustainable bamboo was used in lieu of typical hardwoods throughout the building. Capable of reaching maturity in less than five years, bamboo can be harvested many times over, whereas other hardwoods such as maple or oak can take 30 – 100 years to harvest.

Bike racks, shower facilities and changing rooms have been installed to encourage bike commuting. In addition, preferred parking is available for fuel efficient vehicles in the garage.

The brick on the building is a slightly different shade then what was originally planned for the building. We made this change so that we could source the brick from Jackson, MS, keeping in line with getting nearly all of the building materials from within a 500-mile radius to cut down on fuel and transportation costs.
