Shizuoka Cancer Center
Part of the day room located in between the east and the west wings on the 6th floor at the Shizuoka Cancer Center Hospital was renovated for the pediatrics and AYA patients. The new room is designed to let them forget about the treatment temporarily and focus on studying or working, or just be relaxed, even in the hospital environment. The renovated room is named “The AYA Room Circle,” which is based on the children’s wishes to be connected with various people, get motivated for future study, and make friends with others even while living in the hospital. The room with a floor space of 8.38m2 has the sound shielding walls papered with flower motifs, and the big window commanding a great view of Suruga Bay. It Is equipped with a computer which enables the patients to connect to the outer world online. Also equipped with is a height-adjustable desk for a wheel-chaired patient, and a clear acrylic board. The renovation as well as all these new equipment are funded by the donation from a woman in her 70s living in the eastern Shizuoka.
