walkLEX: A.B. "Happy" Chandler Medical Center Celebrates Kentucky

Pavilion A of the Chandler Medical Center - Lexington, Ky.

If you've driven down South Limestone/Nicholasville Rd in the past couple years, you know of this towering medical facility on the south side of UK's campus. The growing UK Healthcare has constructed a twelve story structure consisting of a four-story pedestal under two eight-story towers. Though not fully opened, a number of units have moved from the old Chandler Medical Center to this new facility.

The new Pavilion features a number of artistic qualities that allow a large, industrial space to seem warm and comforting. It truly is a beautiful facility. A favorite feature of mine is the "Celebrate Kentucky" wall which features digital photographs from across the Commonwealth alongside words from Jesse Stuart's poem, Kentucky is My Land.

Since I am Kentucky, and Kentucky is a part of me.
