CASE STUDIES

Our Lady of Consolation sought a bright and airy facility renovation to enrich the lives of residents, patients, staff and the local community.

RE-COVER™ is a safe and affordable surface that was a logical extension for CTVHCS's plan to improve the patient experience.

Stony Brook Medicine offers more choice and flexibility with its cutting-edge 120,000 sq ft multispecialty facility.

Memorial Health System knows excellent healthcare is not an achievment, but an ongoing iteration of technology and training. Every inch of the 72,000 sq ft MCLI embodies this philosophy.

Driven by technology, the leading edge of architecture incorporates community engagement and research-informed design. 

A hospital in the San Antonio area says goodbye to years of use and hello to a quick, affordable and stylish new way to "do over" your space, with Wilsonart® RE-COVER™ Laminate. This combination of vertical grade laminate and adhesive create an innovative alternative to standard High Pressure Laminate (HPL) installation and fabrication.

It is somewhat tongue-in-cheek when Landon Lawson, Project Director for Vanguard Health Systems quips that “Vanguard is the Vanguard of outcome-based quality healthcare,” but the company is certainly part of what is driving the big philosophical changes in healthcare design. “Our sole focus is healthcare,” says Lawson, “and it is really evolving from sick care to caring for health. We implement evidence based practices to move from a fee-for-service model, to a fee-for-value model.” With 28 facilities in five distinct markets (Arizona, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan and Texas), Vanguard cultivates locally branded health systems that meet the needs of the people in the region. The Mission Trail Baptist Hospital is a 214,000- squarefoot, 110-bed replacement facility that was recently completed in San Antonio, TX as a part of the Baptist Health System. Architects and designers from Earl Swensson Associates, Inc. (ESa) collaborated with the project owner and the care providers to develop a patient-centered, family friendly hospital. In addition to applying best practices for evidence-based healthcare, there were three design criteria that informed the specification of materials throughout the project: LEED Gold certification, regional harmony and creating a facility that is both light and quiet.
