The role of healthcare facilities offers opportunities to master plan, design and develop for the next generation, according to an article on the Commercial Property Executive website.
 
Emerging trends in the healthcare sector include:

• The walkability of campuses is getting attention
• Facilities are looking to increase the areas of respite
 
These trends support interacting with built environments, which can make healthcare facilities more enjoyable places.
