Designing Healthcare Facilities for Climate Resilience

Healthcare industry leaders are increasingly turning to a model of resilience to ensure that their facilities can stay operational during natural-disaster events in a changing climate.

In the March/April issue of Medical Construction & Design magazine (page 20-23), we’ve co-authored an article with Affiliated Engineers outlining our approach to designing for resiliency. The projects discussed include the ZGF-designed Teck Acute Care Center (TACC) in British Columbia and Seattle Children’s Hospital’s Building Hope expansion.

At TACC, the design equation includes nature-inspired elements – like patient and staff-accessible gardens – to provide a sense of normalcy during a prolonged event.

Additionally, this month’s Health Facilities Management magazine cover story on resiliency includes background on Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett, Wash., also designed by ZGF.
