PATIENT-CENTERED APPROACH 

We approach healthcare facilities with a focus on creating adaptable, patient-centered environments that enhance care and functionality. By collaborating with lab planners, health providers, and building owners, we’re able to design spaces that prioritize the healing process and elevate the patient experience. This approach has allowed us to deliver practical solutions that meet current needs while anticipating future innovations. Projects with leading healthcare providers demonstrate our ability to create spaces that seamlessly balance patient care, functionality, and adaptability. Highlighting our deep understanding of healthcare systems, enabling us to design buildings that benefit both patients and providers.  

ADAPTABLE SPACES 

We also prioritize adaptability in our designs by creating dynamic spaces that evolve alongside advancements in teaching methods, technologies, and industry demands. Whether it’s designing laboratories, research facilities, or cutting-edge teaching environments we leverage insights from our experience across healthcare, science, and education to create flexible and collaborative spaces, such as Alice L. Walton School of Medicine, which demonstrates our ability to design environments that inspire innovation. 

Through close collaboration with lab planners and users, we’re able to integrate systems that meet code regulations, and design standards while allowing flexibility for future advancements. Our expertise spans laboratories, plant science, computational research, and forensic science, ensuring that our designs are not only functional, but also aligned with specific needs of each unique environment. As demonstrated throughout Wexford Phoenix Bioscience Core, where we worked hard every step of the way to deliver systems that seamlessly met the project’s needs.
