I'm sure this hospital was designed from the inside out with the size and shape of the site and the various hospital functions leading the way. The cruise ship look is only a (unfortunate) wrapping.
Pearlman looks like stink and in my use of it I'd say it's function is not too much better. Hopefully this new build won't follow in Pearlman's footsteps.

I think a team (both internal and external) of folks with hospital expertise design worked on the interior layout, design, and function of the hospital. Input also came from doctors, nurses, and patients to make it more efficient and functioning. There was a detailed article or report about it that I read. If anything, the interior of the building has been over engineered to make it more better for the health practictioners/staff that work there and for the patients that are being cared and treated there. I have no doubt it will be state of the art and fully mission efficient once the building is completed.
For the outside, I 'll reserve my opinion until it is completed and viewed as a whole to its surroundings.
