Healthcare Design magazine posted some 2013 Architectural and Interior Design Showcase jury comments and an image gallery to highlight specific projects.
Forest Park Medical Center Frisco in Frisco, Texas; Kaleida Health Gates Vascular Institute/UB Clinical Translational Research Center in Buffalo, N.J.; Indiana University Health’s Neuroscience Center of Excellence in Indianapolis; UPMC East in Monroe, Pa.; The Mother Baby Center, an in-progress project at Abbott Northwestern Hospital & Children’s Hospitals & Clinics in Minneapolis; Palomar Medical Center in Escondido, Calif. and the University Medical Center of Princeton Plainsboro in Plainsboro N.J., all received kudos from the jury
One example:
From the jury: "These two projects referencing hospitality for patient care environments were really interesting in the way they demonstrated tremendous diversity in the architectural product. Forest Park Medical Center Frisco is barely recognizable as a medical facility and approaches the patient as a valued VIP guest in a contemporary luxury hotel. Kaleida Health Gates Vascular Institute/UB Clinical Translational Research Center appears as a radically modern expression of cutting-edge healthcare technology and research. We felt that both facilities appealed to the highly insured patient and represented the divergence between healthcare design for Medicare/Medicaid patients and the highly insured."
