When the Genesis Health Group embarked on a journey to build a new medical facility from the ground up, they took advantage of the opportunity to dramatically reimagine their workplace. Using LEAN design methodology, they were able to provide an even more enhanced and supportive environment for patients and their families.
The facility design also had to fit into the surrounding office park in terms of aesthetics and use of materials. The use of brick, metal wall panels, and glass curtain wall not only tie into the surrounding context, but also create visual impact, scale, and texture to mitigate the mass of what is essentially a “big box”. In addition the glass curtain wall and storefront windows allow natural daylight to penetrate deep into the building.

Passavant Area Hospital is a 168-bed community hospital serving five counties. The hospital campus, approximately 328,000 s.f., underwent a thorough master planning process. The effort included an evaluation of the existing facilities regarding the need for additional space, code compliance, space utilization, infrastructure, modernization, and general patient flow. Schematic design included a new Emergency Care Center, surgery addition, remodeling of the Radiology Department, Lab Department, existing OR suite, and Cardio-pulmonary Department, and upgrade of site utilities.
This new 28,000 s.f. eye center combines the talents of 12 doctors and 90 staff members to offer patients personalized routine and specialized care in one state-of-the-art eyecare facility. The warm, sophisticated design helps patients feel comfortable and confident from the moment they arrive on site.
This 27,670 s.f. medical office building houses over 40 exam and procedure rooms, offices, and support spaces. Special attention was given to make sure that the facility was designed to address urgent care needs, as well as day-to-day health services, within an efficient layout that breathed a sense of calm and compassion no matter the interaction.
