Read about the project: https://loom.ly/JxYFYAg Submitted by GBBN Architects, UC Health Medical Center saw an opportunity to enhance their patient experience by making changes to their main arrival entrance. A distinctive new entrance canopy now clearly defines the campus’ front door, whether people are arriving on foot from the parking garage or driving up to drop off or pick up someone. The interior lobby and waiting areas were also transformed to create a strong, cohesive sense of place that is easy to navigate. In a post-occupancy review, findings validated successful design elements and identified areas for improvement. Jurors commented that this project demonstrated a thorough and well-rounded approach to implement the eight steps of the EBD process, and the methods used to conduct a critical review and interpretation of the literature was well documented.
