Health Spaces

Shared Decision Making

No longer just a place for medical exams and treatments, the exam room is also a space where consulting, learning and person-to-person sharing happen.

Enhancing collaboration and trust

Exam rooms today require a new type of experience — one that builds on doctor-patient-family member collaboration and trust.

SUPPORT FAMILY INVOLVEMENT

When families are invited to move beyond a visitor role, their involvement can lead to better patient health, higher customer satisfaction and improved outcomes.

Meeting Family Needs in the Patient Room

When it’s time for resting, high-recline arms, ambient light and a full sleeper enable comfortable rejuvenation and sleeping postures.

Waiting Spaces

By providing more choices and supporting a range of postures and activities, waiting spaces should be adaptable and productive environments.

Improving the Healthcare Experience

By providing more choices and supporting a range of postures and activities, waiting spaces should be adaptable and productive environments that provide better healthcare experiences.

Learning Spaces

Active Learning

Flexibility and variety work with pedagogy, technology and space to support how learning happens in active learning classrooms.

Libraries + Learning Commons

Self-directed learning commons balance privacy with interaction and adapt to changing needs.

In-Between Spaces

Every space is a learning space. Reimagine how lounge, hallways, and other informal areas can be flexible, welcoming learning spaces for individuals and groups.
