Health care facilities are by their very nature different. Oftentimes entry into such a facility, whether as a patient or visitor, is accompanied with extreme personal stress. Add to that the fact that health care providers have chosen one the most stressful professions, and the importance for good site layout and design become clear.
Locating appropriate parking, being led to the correct building entrance through the thoughtful placement of sidewalks and feeling safe through effective site lighting are all elements that make a healthcare facility inviting for its users.
This goes beyond even entry treatments and extends into healing gardens, meditative spaces and walking paths. Creating an inviting space that reduces the stress of its users is what our design team of engineers and landscape architects strive for.
