― MedEd- Health Education
Empowering the great minds of tomorrow The only constant in the MedEd sector is change: student demands constantly shift, new technologies emerge, policies and practices evolve. Creating a place that responds to change is challenging: creating a place that also stimulates student learning and promotes student growth is even more challenging. We believe that the best opportunities exist where education is delivered in a hands-on environment and where students have the opportunity to interact directly with patients. This elevates the future level of care by creating a generation of medical professionals who are responsive to change.

MedEd- Health Education
Promoting a mission to improve global health Fifty years ago, artificial organs for transplant, medical lasers to treat cancerous tissue, and genome mapping online were but a figment of wild imaginations. The innovations of tomorrow are again different from those of today. Precision medicine continues to play a larger role in treatment modalities; patients are focusing on their individual health with wearable medical devices, and commercial markets are increasingly focused on preventive health enabled by these targeted solutions. The provision of health services and the patient experience are rapidly evolving. For over 80 years, we have designed medical education and health education facilities to advance these unique challenges. We’d love the opportunity to help you design for your next breakthrough.

University of Washington South Lake Union School of Medicine, Phase 3.2 Seattle, Washington Client: University of Washington Size: 168,000 square feet (15,608 square meters) Completion Date: 2018 Sustainability: LEED Gold® Awards: P3 Innovation Project Award, All Phases, The National Council for Public-Private Partnerships, 2014
― WHAT IT IS
A bedside-to-bench integration in the heart of Seattle’s biotech region.
→ Inspiration: Kintsukuroi is the Japanese art of repairing something that is broken with gold or silver lacquer. This concept comes to life as a glowing, wandering incision joining three panels together. This joining recalls the valued practice of trial and error that leads to the brightest medical breakthroughs while reflecting the character of the ribbon wall in the courtyard. The design is a nod to the “perfect imperfections” found in each of us.
