Collaborative Excellence in Design

In collaboration with NueHealth, University Hospitals, Foundation Medical Group, and ESa, +Detail was engaged by University Hospitals as a consultant to shape the interior design vision for this project. This partnership ensured that, despite the varied ownership and operational models, the health center would embody a cohesive aesthetic that aligns with all activities and service lines offered.

Leveraging Technology to Ensure Brand Alignment with Follio™

+Detail is utilizing their proprietary software, Follio™, to manage design standards for University Hospitals, ensuring that every project aligns with the mission and vision of the enterprise. Follio enabled the team to drive consistency throughout the health center by seamlessly integrating these standards into every design aspect.

The software facilitated real-time collaboration and decision-making, allowing adjustments and refinements to be made efficiently. It also provided a platform for tracking the selection of materials and furnishings, ensuring that each choice adhered to the established guidelines.

Balancing Eco-Friendly Choices with Durability and Cost-Effectiveness

In line with +Detail’s unwavering commitment to sustainability, the project prioritizes eco-friendly choices that align with both environmental responsibility and practicality. Every material was carefully selected to ensure that sustainability was not just an added feature but a fundamental aspect of the project. These choices were made without compromising durability, ensuring that the materials used would stand the test of time, and without inflating costs, demonstrating that eco-conscious design can be both effective and economical.

Architectural Harmony: Creating Connection and Community in the Heart of the Facility

One of the project's architectural gems is the two-story open atrium in the lobby, designed to foster a sense of connection and community. This area is a central hub for all practices, making it the perfect focal point. The consistent use of materials across different spaces, such as the directories and the desks at check-in and check-out points, strengthens the University Hospital brand, reassuring visitors of the quality and care they can expect.

Exemplifying Modern Healthcare Design with Practicality and Elegance

At +Detail, we proudly balance practical solutions with aesthetic appeal while adhering to strict budgets and operational challenges. This project creates a healthcare environment and reinforces the trust and standards that University Hospitals is known for. With its highest standards of healthcare and design excellence, this complex represents the best of modern healthcare.
