2019 Best of Design Awards winners for Healthcare

 

2019 Best of Design Award for Healthcare: University of Cincinnati Gardner Neuroscience Institute
Designer: Perkins and Will
Location: Cincinnati

The University of Cincinnati Gard- ner Neuroscience Institute is a leading treatment, research, and teaching center for complex neurological conditions. Each component of this patient-centered facility was developed with user input. Shaped through input from Perkins and Will’s Human Experience Lab, the design responds to patients’ specific needs at every step of their journeys. The facade is wrapped in a tensile mesh that reduces glare for patients while improving energy performance and giving the building a distinctive look. Patient comfort is prioritized with the protective facade, wheelchair-friendly sliding doors, and flexible seating for staff, patients, and family members. Simplified circulation and plentiful daylight assist wayfinding, while a comfortably scaled lobby creates a calming entry experience.
