Structure, space and soul.
Insight from the people who literally wrote the book on healthcare architecture.
No other environment sees more emotion, no other setting demands more thought, and no other architectural firm in the Midwest has more passion in the area of healthcare facility design.
Hospitals, clinics and other such structures require a duality in design: They must be both comforting and peaceful for the patient while being technical and adaptable for the caregiver. This demands of architects the ability to be both practical and personable.
That describes our healthcare architectural team and its leader, Rebecca Lewis, AIA, ACHA, CID, who offers a few other credentials, as well:
- 2008 President of the American College of Healthcare Architects (ACHA)
- Co-Chair of the American Institute of Architects Codes and Standards Forum (Academy of Architects for Health)
- Member of Health Guidelines Revision Committee of the 2006 and 2010 Health Guidelines editions of the Facilities Guidelines Institute
- Member of American Society for Healthcare Engineering
Not only has our experience prepared us for the dramatic changes we’ll see in healthcare over the next few decades, we literally have helped decide how healthcare architecture is going to evolve. Our specialization in this area includes:
- Medical programming
- Campus master planning
- Facility design, including additions and remodels
- Sustainable design
- Interior design, signage, furniture selection, etc.
What’s more, when we create a master plan for a healthcare facility, we examine and include overall operations, medical trends, local demographics, patient count and design/construction options. These options and ideas maximize operating efficiency and minimize budgetary impact.
This is what we bring to the table, and because we work so closely with hospital administration, board members and staff, we’re able to design facilities that are more efficient and effective within the communities they serve.
