The Spire Healthcare group actively encouraged the medical staff working in the hospital to contribute to the design of the interior of the building, ensuring that patients are treated and staff can work in the best possible environment.

It is this involvement in the project that has resulted in The Montefiore Hospital being the first in the world to incorporate into its design two individual light and sound installations by Brian Eno: The "Quiet Room for Montefiore" is a room available downstairs to patients, visitors and staff as a place to "escape" - somewhere to think, take stock or simply relax; "77 Million Paintings for Montefiore" is an installation of light and generative music in the reception area.
