Northwest CommuNity hospital

south pavilioN

Arlington Heights, Illinois | 225,000 sf

This project presents a new progressive face to the community and has been designed to address several program deficiencies of the current campus. This inpatient building represents the opportunity to continue the family-centered focus and healing environment that has been integral to the Hospital’s mission. The over-arching goal for the project was to re-invent the brand identity for NCH and to create a new definition for “community hospital”.

The design creates a healthcare environment that communicates the importance of nature and community to the healing process. Our innate need for nature and shelter is addressed by providing a sense of enclosure as well as a connection to the broader environment. Sheltered gathering places and lowered ceilings in key places provide a safe and comforting environment to heal. The complexities of the natural environment have been interpreted and seamlessly incorporated into elements of the interior through color, pattern, and form, providing a positive effect on one’s overall sense of well-being.

REDEFINING THE COMMUNITY HOSPITAL

The development of the Guiding Principle PEP (Principles-Elements-Processes) Guide established a series of 11 goals for the project; elements that would be implemented as metrics that are used to define success. A PEP council, comprised of nursing directors, reviewed decisions for guiding principle compliance.

Emergency departments are often the first point of contact a patient has with a hospital. As another front door, the impact of a patient’s experience shapes his/her opinion when seeking care in the future. The level of activity within emergency departments continues to rise, often creating chaotic and overcrowded conditions.

These are busy places where the urgency of treatment is paramount. Our care environments support these activities efficiently and safely. Our emergency department designs are equipped to address the full range of healthcare issues from routine care to catastrophe.

Confidential Client outpatient CliniC

Boston, Massachusetts | 38,000 sf

The clinic’s new consolidated location—an office building with little natural light—presented a challenge in creating a light, open environment.

The circulation “square” was treated with varying ceiling heights, graphics, modern furniture and lighting to enhance visual interest, privacy and wayfinding. “Coves” create the illusion of natural light wells and “windows” of etched and

colored glass create interest in public areas; sounds from water features mask conversations in treatment areas.

The result is an environment that conveys the client’s image as a provider of comprehensive, team-based, sensitive care and treatment to patients experiencing infertility problems in a supportive, state-of-the-art environment.

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia | 1,862,000 sf

King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center is one of the Middle East’s top medical institutions. With the addition of the King Abdullah Center for Cancer and Liver Diseases, the National Biotechnology and Research Center, Family Clinics and Royal Wing, the Hospital wanted to expand their presence in cancer treatment and research and support clinical care, clinical practice and research modalities while enhancing their brand.

Cannon Design supported this mission through development of design solutions that integrate the exterior and interior and convey a consistent brand image through meticulous attention to detail, sustainable design strategies and integration of the landscape. The team pursued consistency in design vocabulary with regard to materials hierarchy, lighting and interior architectural detailing. The comprehensive materials palette consists of two primary components; a core neutral palette that weds exterior and interior materiality and assists in locating key destinations and accent color palettes that add variety. These palettes and associated patterning are influenced by the natural and built environments of Saudi Arabia and Riyadh. Regional design considerations include: the impact large families have on the design of various spaces, separation of sexes in specific areas, light control and mitigation of airborne sand and dust.

Green briAr outpAtient center

Downers Grove, Illinois | 15,000 sf

This center is one of the first newly branded outpatient facilities for Advocate Health. As a result, the design needed to convey a unique and memorable image.

The design is simple and authentic, based upon the Japanese world view of Wabi sabi. With its roots in the tea ceremony, principles of harmony, respect, purity and tranquility are infused throughout. The tea house’s design is deliberately clean and simple, as it is meant to be a sanctuary. Wabi sabi inspires minimalism so the spaces are appropriately muted, using an earthy neutral palette of brown, black, grey, green and rust.

A shoji screen element is used consistently throughout to separate the registration area from the reception area and in diagnostic rooms where they mask medical equipment and storage areas. Back-lit glass art panels feature photographs of nature and create a feeling of visiting a tea house, while serving as a positive distraction from the large-scale medical equipment.

expanSion

Williamsville, New York | 150,400 sf

The design for the hospital expansion, dubbed an “extreme makeover”by hospital administration, completely re-imaged the hospital, enhancing an image for advanced technology and service.

The design of the expansion seeks to recapture what is typically lost when expanding on a hospital campus: light, open space, tranquility and natural materials. Granite, wood and glass panels from the building’s exterior flow seamlessly into the main lobby, creating textured wall surfaces within. Double-height public spaces and a bridge connecting new and existing patient floors crossing an open light well creates an active dialogue between interior and exterior. Light, green space and landscape penetrate the interior.

A vision Center was created in an off-site warehouse for the design team, hospital and community groups to test assumptions within a full-scale prototype.research-informed design

At Northwest Community Hospital’s South Pavilion, the size and configuration of the rooms have been shaped by the hospital’s Guiding Principles, including: standardization, adaptability, privacy, technology and patient/family-centered care. These were tested in the vision Center.

The design incorporates into the rooms the most recent research and trends that address patient safety, patient and family satisfaction, stress reduction and infection control protocols.

The vision Center was devised as a “testing laboratory” that enabled dialogue and evaluation in an iterative process resulting in solutions that were thoroughly analyzed against best practices and return on investment.

Park Ridge, Illinois | 414,000 sf

The goal for this teaching hospital was to create a new patient care tower that refreshed their image and established a marketplace position, while upholding their commitment to environmental design. The design of the project went beyond aesthetic considerations to better support excellence in patient- and family-focused care.

Balance of color and texture played a crucial role in showcasing the hospital’s vision to connect with nature and provide a supportive patient experience. Building form, materials and color palette harmonize and invoke feelings of confidence, inspiration and healing. The project is certified LEED Gold.

Positive distractions are integral to the patient and visitor experience as illustrated through various amenities including a rooftop deck that overlooks a healing garden. Most noticeably, perhaps, is the interactive LED light wall that includes motion sensors and fosters a sense of discovery for visitors big and small.

Cancer is one of the most frightening diagnoses a person can hear. Statistics indicate that it will touch more people as the population ages. As a result, most of us know someone–a friend, a family member, ourselves–who is or has been a cancer patient, yet one of the largest gaps in information is research regarding the cancer patient.

Cannon Design has worked diligently to fill this void through our research study about infusion settings and patient well-being. We have used these insights to inform interior design, creating a powerful patient experience. By providing control over the environment and a connection to caregivers–most importantly family members–we are able to make the frequent visits a cancer patient has as comfortable and healing as possible.

St. Louis, Missouri | 910,000 sf

A bold ten-year research initiative that is converting knowledge of the human genome into effective, individualized medical treatment is reflected in a cutting-edge interior space. The Institute combines research and hospital functions to accelerate the pace of discoveries and cures in the field of translational medicine.

The facility houses five multidisciplinary research centers, each with their own identity. Collaboration spaces are placed throughout the building to cultivate relationships between researchers and physicians. Interactive walls are present throughout collaboration spaces for a break from the computer or pen and paper. All conference areas and labs are on the forefront of technology and foster thinking and learning.

Our approach to designing for behavioral health is rooted in crafting a place that heals the whole person. With that in mind, Cannon Design has created several award-winning facilities that consistently offer places for interaction and socialization to promote well-being–dedicated to each patient’s medical and spiritual needs.

Every detail of design is carefully considered in order to create environments where patient and staff safety is ensured, while avoiding the feeling of an “institution”.

Creating “neighborhoods” within our behavioral health facilities allows for the accommodation of variations in the patient population and provides a catalyst for activities and interaction among like-acuity patients.

Peoria, Illinois | 440,000 sf

As a Catholic hospital with St. Francis of Assisi as their patron saint, OSF wanted the project’s design to convey the significance of his life and provide an engaging and educational environment for children while conveying a sense of medical excellence for all patients and families. The Canticle of the Sun, authored by their patron saint, provided the framework for the building’s design and offered variety, interest and a wayfinding strategy. The facility cares for high-acuity patients, many of whom travel from long distances, so taking into account the needs of their families was an extremely important consideration.

A vibrant, full-spectrum color palette addresses the needs of children in the hospital. Children respond to their environment differently than adults: their point of view is lower, scale of spaces and forms can impact them adversely and the interesting use of clear, vibrant saturations of color can provide a positive distraction for adventurous minds. Concurrently, we were challenged to design for the needs of the adult population. While still colorful, the manner in which color is applied and the palettes used within adult areas are more sophisticated and restrained. All details throughout the building respond to The Canticle, including the use of artwork, wayfinding and graphics.

TAkING INSPIRATION FROM A NAMESAkE TO CREATE A NEW FRONT DOOR

Children have a different point-of-view, engage with their environment differently and need to have a sense of continuity in their lives in order to feel safe and healthy. Our team used research findings to create an interactive space for pediatric populations, including a motion-sensor visual play area, smaller-scale furniture and spaces for family-inclusive care.

All buildings on-site complement each other, incorporating key design elements that link inpatient and outpatient campuses. With a flexible clinical core area wrapped in a glass-and-metal “necklace” of public spaces, the facility design recognizes qualitative differences between spaces devoted to treatment and those devoted to preventative screening by providing two major independent entrances linked by a shared conduit of public space.

Stony Brook UniverSity Medical center

Stony Brook, New York | 415,000 sf

The Stony Brook University Medical Center campus has experienced significant growth since its construction in the 1980s. In order to better respond to the needs of their patients, visitors and staff, a renovation and expansion of the hospital was designed. Along with the ability to meet the needs of the surrounding community, the client also wanted to use this opportunity to create a striking new campus gateway image and to improve wayfinding among the facilities.

The new entrance and lobby of the major expansion provides a striking new public space from which each of the major clinical areas can be readily accessed. The original entry was internally focused and was difficult to navigate. The new entryway design creates an efficient connection to various department areas, improved segregation and security measures, and significantly increased connection to existing parking facilities.

Chicago, Illinois | 21,000 sf

The goal for the project was the expansion of the existing clinic to provide an environment for infusion, taking advantage of the expansive views of Lake Michigan, as well as incorporating integrated services in a single location. All women’s needs are accommodated during treatment: physical, emotional and aesthetic. Integrative, holistic services include: acupuncture or Reiki, nutrition and health psychology to enable women to better cope with their diagnoses and daily activities during treatment. A healing boutique offers wig and prosthesis fittings, and makeup consultations for patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatments.

Since patients receive treatment lasting from an hour up to eight hours, it was important to make the space feel warm, inviting and comforting. The use of warm cherry wood materials for flooring and mill work respect the standards established by Northwestern. In order provide a balance with the deep cherry wood, the use of soft yellow tones create an optimistic and uplifting environment.

JaCobs MeDiCal Center

La Jolla, California | 495,000 sf

The Jacobs Medical Center project is a continuation of the transformation of the UCSD La Jolla campus, from a community hospital to a world-class academic medical center. To assist in the transformation, we are providing the latest in technology infrastructure to accommodate future change, increasing the capacity and capabilities of the medical education/conference facilities and incorporating three hospitals into a single chassis. Cannon Design has met the challenges of branding the three hospitals by creating distinct image, material and color solutions for each, while also incorporating a cohesive aesthetic throughout.

The building is organized into three major specialties: advanced surgery, cancer, and women and infant care. The interior aesthetic reinforces the overall brand as a whole, establishing a unique response inspired by the surrounding landscape. The hospital for advanced surgery interior concept is based on both the coloration of the local canyons as well as the nature and function of the high tech facilities, it ultimately reflects “transform”. As the building rises, the cancer center hospital responds to the ocean views and “replenishment.” The top floors, which house the women and infant hospital, responds to the sky and “discovery”.

APPLYING RESEARCH TO THE EFFECT OF THE BUILT ENvIRONMENT ON PREEMIES

Northwest CommuNity hospitaL Northwest CommuNity hospitaL

nicu design

Sensitivity to issues related to this very specific patient population is critical to achieving positive outcomes. Application of research on the affect of the built environment on premature infants indicates that the choice of materials, lighting and color impact these outcomes. Neonates are far more sensitive and fragile than most other patient groups. Particular attention to the selection of materials that provide good acoustic qualities, are low-vOC emitting and, without

PvCs, help create an environment that enables neonates to thrive.

Families need support in a caring environment. Private rooms or “pods”, with controls for temperature and lighting and a daybed, allows parents to stay for extended periods; a family lounge with a kitchenette gives parents the ability to participate in caregiving.
