Member Project

University Medical Center El Paso Healthcare Centers

June 2018 ∘ Member Project ∘
El Paso County Hospital District, dba University Medical Center, passed a bond in 2013 to expand its services by adding additional community-based clinics. The first of these will be the West Clinic, which will serve as the prototype. The West Clinic is designed around a modular pod for long-term flexibility in uses and scheduling. The pods accommodate primary and specialty care and there is a separate module for Lab and Imaging (including MRI, CT, X-ray, Mammography, Ultrasound, and Bone Density).

Webinar

Designing for Adolescents in Mental Health Crisis: A Story of Research, Innovation, and Hope

April 2018 ∘ Webinar ∘
Adolescence can be a tumultuous time in one’s life. Mental health conditions often surface during this stage, and it may be the first time that some patients enter an inpatient behavioral health unit. How can design best support this patient population that is transitioning from childhood to adulthood? Learn how a design team utilized research, Lean processes, and innovation to solve the challenges of this unique patient population for the 27-bed Adolescent Behavioral Health Unit in Tacoma, Wash. Find out how design can support a seclusion- and restraint-free care model and how pushing beyond the conventions of behavioral healthcare design was achieved.

Webinar

Evidence-Based Design in the Rural Healthcare Setting: Does it Matter?

March 2018 ∘ Webinar ∘
This webinar will focus on an exploratory approach to the role of Evidence-Based Design in the rural healthcare setting. Haddox will present the observations, conversations, participatory research methods, and thought processes that led him to explore how the delivery of healthcare in his largely rural native West Virginia might be improved through a focus on the physical facilities. He will describe research projects that examine the barriers to care in these rural areas, including his approach to engaging stakeholders to gather data, some upcoming projects in the works with special healthcare needs populations, and a larger framework for interdisciplinary research in the rural health care setting.

Interview

The Design of a Psychiatric Clinic in Borås Sweden Strives to Create a "Healing" Environment, an interview with Stefan Lundin and Cristiana Caira

February 2018 ∘ Interview ∘
Learn about how the design of a new psychiatric facility strives to normalize mental illness through carefully chosen materials with the goal of creating a “homey,” non-institutional setting, why private patient rooms will be included in the new final building as an important part of the design concept, and how research helped shape the architects’ beliefs that the built environment should support patients’ dignity and independence as part of the recovery process.

Project Brief

Innovative Design Consolidates Diverse Behavioral Health Programs into One Comprehensive Center

February 2018 ∘ Project Brief ∘
Learn about how a county directive to relocate different behavioral health programs into one location led to a unique design for serving low to high-risk populations in an integrated facility, and how collaboration among the architect, interior designer, landscape architect, owner, staff, and clients played an integral role in shaping the programming and design.
