Legacy of collaboration, excellence, and innnovation
On any given day in the Texas Medical Center (TMC)—the world’s largest medical complex—you might overhear conversations about a groundbreaking cancer drug, an innovative medical device, or a life-changing vaccine. You might even catch an outdoor performance by the Texas Medical Center Orchestra.
For over three decades, Page, now Stantec has been a trusted partner in shaping TMC’s future, creating environments that drive innovation, collaboration, and exceptional patient care. Our portfolio spans more than 18 million square feet across the TMC, from leading-edge research institutes to world-renowned hospitals and academic centers.
TMC is a global hub for healthcare pioneers, home to top-ranked hospitals, medical schools, and research institutions. Every year, specialists, students, and patients from around the world come here to push the limits of medicine. We are proud to design the spaces that bring those breakthroughs to life.
“It’s an evolution of 140 acres to 1,400 acres and an exciting place where organizations are collaborating toward one purpose. Collisions are taking place between buildings in interstitial spaces. On any given day, you can sit for lunch and overhear incredible conversations about technological possibilities, medical device inventions, or a collaboration opportunity.”

UNC Health North Carolina Surgical Hospital
The UNC Health – North Carolina Surgical Hospital stands as a beacon of innovation and thoughtful design, redefining the standard for patient care and operational efficiency. A collaborative effort between Page, now Stantec and UNC Health, this advanced facility seamlessly integrates leading-edge technology with a human-centered approach, ensuring patients and staff benefit from a smarter, more intuitive environment.
A standout feature is the “on-stage/off-stage” concept, which strategically separates clinical workspaces from patient care areas. This approach enhances privacy, reduces noise, and streamlines workflows—allowing caregivers to focus while creating a calmer healing environment.
Another key component of the hospital, the surgical platform, maximizes efficiency with two-sided pre- and post-operative rooms. Validated through Lean planning, this innovative layout optimizes the ratio of recovery rooms per operating room to unprecedented levels—minimizing unnecessary construction costs while improving hospital operations and quality of care.

Houston Methodist Hospital is at the forefront of advanced care, with each new facility thoughtfully designed to integrate the latest technologies—and Cypress Hospital is no exception. As the ninth hospital in the system, its leaders dedicated significant effort to ensuring this campus embodies the “hospital of the future.”
While Houston Methodist had a clear vision, they relied on Page, now Stantec and its consultants to help navigate the vast landscape of emerging technologies—from practical
innovations to cutting-edge, space-age concepts. Partnering with specialists from SSR, the design team developed userfriendly evaluation matrices to determine which technologies to implement at launch, which to accommodate for future integration, and which to revisit later.
From AI and ambient intelligence to smart hospital rooms, robots, drones, digital twins, and autonomous vehicles, the ability to systematically assess and prioritize innovations was key to shaping a truly future-ready hospital.

At a Glance 8,1500 SF
The award-winning HEAL wellness center redefines the patient experience, blending comfort and hospitality. Furniture selections prioritize warmth and inclusivity, with seating vignettes that allow patients to choose the space that best suits their needs. Mid-century modern-inspired furnishings feel sophisticated, featuring luxe materials and complementary wood tones. The overall effect is soothing.
Art is a key design element of the project and was curated to inspire and uplift. A statement-sized abstract painting in deep greens, blues, and yellows evokes nature, its vibrancy amplified
by neutral furniture finishes. In the salon, a polished metal art piece reminiscent of raindrops enhances the serene setting, while a deep-colored velvet drape adds softness and intimacy.
Biophilic design elements, such as natural light, plants, and eco-friendly materials, promote wellness while maintaining healthcare standards and creating a flexible and nurturing environment for patients and staff. The thoughtful integration of furniture and art across HEAL ensures that each area supports wellness, relaxation, and patient empowerment.
