Psychiatric Hospital Gets Bullet-Proof Glass

The first inpatient building for psychiatric patients without iron grating has opened at the Huilongguan Psychiatric Hospital in Beijing.

 

A huge bullet-proof window has been installed in-place of iron bars in the 600-bed building to help create a more comfortable atmosphere for patients and keep them from escaping or committing suicide.

 

The window, which ensures safety, provides ample sunlight and a good view was the most expensive part of the redevelopment project.

 

Other aspects of the design and equipment upgrades also show the hospital's concern for their patients. To make them more comfortable, the facility has been decorated in soothing colors, uses antiskid flooring and special ramps and lifts for handicapped patients.
