Motivating students and making school interesting for learners of all ages is a challenge for educators at every academic level. It’s because of this that the decisions made while designing a new facility or updating an existing structure are significant. Meticulous consideration of details during the planning phase holds the power to foster a positive learning environment and deliver structural support to faculty and staff who are tasked with delivering a quality education, promoting academic success and enhancing confidence in their students.

For patients of all ages – and their families – a visit to a medical facility can produce feelings of uncertainty and anxiety. Therefore, each touchpoint along the way matters. It is the careful attention to detail when planning the design of a healthcare facility that can help to establish an optimistic work environment for employees, and create a soothing atmosphere that supports patient wellness and boosts confidence in the capabilities of the clinicians delivering expert care.

The design of modern healthcare facilities continues to advance, shifting from the sterile and monotonous institutions of 50 years ago to today’s warm and welcoming structures intentionally tailored to the communities they serve.
