Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health Services Hospital

This 16-bed hospital provides inpatient services to children and adolescents aged 6–18 who suffer with behavioral health issues. It includes quiet lounges, seclusion rooms, private patient rooms, consult rooms, a family lounge, a large commons area, day lounge, comfort sensory room, and exterior courtyards. This facility responds to a critical need for sensory stimulation and offers feelings of safety and comfort. Patient rooms are planned as three containable zones that allow for patient oversight in a dignified manner. Ligature-resistant fixtures and finishes are delicately incorporated into the design concept for this at-risk population. Circular clouds with pops of color hang from the ceiling in the main commons area, while varying height soffits serve to lower the ceiling heights to enhance comfort and provide a sense of security. Large, vibrant murals of nature serve as art to provide calming connections to nature.

PrairieCare Medical Group

PrairieCare’s new Rochester facility provides Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP) to children, adolescents, and adults struggling with mental illness within an uplifting, light-filled environment. This model divides patients’ time between public school education and individual or group therapy. Most treatment occurs within four “pod” units, which consist of therapist offices, classrooms, group rooms, and activity spaces organized around a central milieu space. Additional multi-purpose space encourages children to expend excess energy, with community functions held during non-business hours. Connection to nature is reinforced through abundant glass, which minimizes the barrier between interior and exterior space. Finishes feature warm, natural materials and color palettes inspired by natural elements. Patients are encouraged to explore secure, semi-private outdoor spaces that integrate nature into the healing process.

Abbott Northwestern Hospital Richard M. Schulze Center of Excellence in Neurological Care

The Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation’s Center of Excellence in Neurological Care provides state-of-the-art care for patients with complex conditions such as brain tumors, sleep disorders, strokes, concussions, Alzheimer’s disease, and seizures. The project co-locates 12 ICU and 42 medical/surgical beds with shared rehab and imaging. Prefabricated interior walls offered a faster construction schedule and minimal construction staging space; future flexibility for layout changes; and flexibility for changes to utility systems, all without the dust associated with traditional gypsum board construction. Best practices and technologies to support patient safety are deployed throughout the unit, while natural materials and imagery promote a sense of calm. Accent colors and patterns assist patients and their families with wayfinding, and numerous respite spaces welcome family members and staff.

Allina Health, Mercy Hospital Expansion

Mercy Hospital was bursting at the seams and needed to relocate its front entrance to the opposite side of the facility to create a connection between its new parking garage and existing campus, forming a grand and intuitive means to draw people in. The garage façade, adjacent to the Mississippi River, draws inspiration from river sediments and is wrapped with a perforated metal panel skin composed of five custom perforation types derived from and image of rock sediment. The result helps bring visitors, patients, and staff steps away from a new main entrance tower. The hospital’s interior forms guide and direct visitors to various key connections, taking cues from the winding river landscape to their destination. On the interior side of the project, the team used a custom computation tool to accurately predict sight lines within the design of clinical spaces, ensuring optimal solutions for staff and users.

Saint Marys Children’s Hospital Atrium Lobby Renovation

The Mayo Clinic Children’s Center at Saint Marys Campus in Rochester provides care to children and adolescents from around the United States and countries throughout the world. As part of this project, the two-level lobby was redesigned to act as a special harbor for children, utilizing the healing powers of nature to inspire hope and contribute to health and well-being—and to provide the best care to every child every day. The reimagined lobby functions as a waiting space and respite for Children’s Center patients and their families. The space is animated with the sights and sounds of nature, from “forested” areas featuring a soothing diorama wall to the dynamic atrium and waterfall. Throughout the day, the lively space encourages exploration and discovery, while colorful lighting and twinkling stars create a soft glow at night. The hospital serves infants, children, and teenagers.

The Mother Baby Center at United Hospital

The Mother Baby Center answers the question, “what does every mother and baby deserve?” The center offers the comforts of home, 5-star hotel amenities, positive distractions, and state-of-the-art care from first arrival to departure. The brand for this Mother Baby Service Center service line, created by Allina Health and Children’s Minnesota, carries through each of three Twin Cities facilities while staying unique to location and relevant to community. Four design elements were created to reinforce the interior and exterior architecture in each Mother Baby facility: iconic-exterior, super-graphics, sculptural-ribbons, and lighting. For this project, we focused on the gardens of St. Paul, with flowering trees dominant, and delivered art through architecture. The sculptural-ribbons, applied to represent the flower shape, mimic the Mother Baby logo. Soft indirect lighting enhances the space and the patient experience.

Voyage Healthcare Clinic

Voyage Healthcare (formerly North Clinic PA) has repurposed the former Chalet Liquor store in Crystal into a primary care clinic. The site’s convenient retail surroundings and proximity to Highway 100 was ideal for relocation and expansion of their nearby Robbinsdale Clinic, minimizing disruptions to current staff and patients. An expansion of 3,000 square feet was added to the building’s south side. Significant structural, electrical, and mechanical updates were completed to get the building up to medical office standards. With an original exterior building shell of bland, painted concrete blocks, additional windows, architectural metals, and sleek longboard siding was added to provide natural light. The interior design conveys a clean and fresh atmosphere with pops of blues, teals, and gold throughout. Attractive textures and abstract patterns are used throughout the space, creating a comforting and calming aesthetic.

PrairieCare Medical Center

PrairieCare Medical Group of Southern Minnesota provides intensive outpatient mental health programming for children, adolescents, and adults. To establish flexible spaces for therapy, education, and supervisory activities, each of the Mankato site’s four floors was designed for a different age group, reducing the need for patients to move from one level to the next and crafting spaces customized to their needs and abilities. The design team focused on providing as much daylighting as possible, including all group therapy rooms, classrooms (for school age-patients), patient care areas, and gross motor activity spaces. The design includes clear and controlled public and private spaces. Interior design utilizes finishes and colors to provide a calm, warm, and welcoming environment, while also acting as wayfinding. It also includes carpet seating patterns to get patients and providers on the same level and promote equity and inclusion.
