The installation cost around £34 million, and was created in collaboration with artist Brian Eno. The result is a quiet room playing Eno’s music where patients can have a chance to relax or de-stress. Turner said the hospital will test pulse, blood, anxiety, and other physiological changes to people in the “Eno room.” Eno, considered the godfather of ambient music, told The Guardian that the collaboration “seemed a natural step for me to take as I’ve been dealing with this idea of functional music for quite a few years.” Eno created a special soundtrack for the room.
