Sustainability and Innovation

Facility upgrades in hospital design and construction are inevitable, whether it is to accommodate newer equipment and services, or to comply with ever changing regulations.

As healthcare providers re-evaluate existing structures and workflows, their access to precise and proficient healthcare design teams can build the foundation for a strong and long-lasting facility.

This article outlines the salient points about how healthcare architects can help plan renovations in an existing healthcare facility.

Setting up a new healthcare centre, hospital, and clinic can be extremely rewarding - personally and professionally. But if you are overwhelmed with the sheer number of things to take care of, don’t worry! You are not alone.

Many of our clients come to us for help navigating the complexities of healthcare design. This article is a concise guide covering the most critical aspects of medical design and construction.

Over the last few years, healthcare organisations have demonstrated a tendency to protect and refurbish their existing structures or utilise redundant facilities instead of constructing completely new spaces. This article highlights the reasons behind this growing trend!

Malls are going through a downturn as there is a decrease in the number of people spending hours in the mall, window shopping and purchasing.
Though a lot of these are being taken up for office spaces, almost 2096 of these are still vacant. While no one likes to see businesses dip, dead malls and the extra commercial spaces can provide great opportunities to redevelop them. We can expect to see these spaces re-inhabited, re-greened and retrofitted for new business.

The word “retrofit” as we are aware suggests fitting in or on to an existing structure OR to substitute new or modernized parts or equipment for older ones. This has been in vogue for the last few years with an objective of protecting existing as well as utilizing redundant facilities. This applies to Healthcare facilities as well since they are always constantly evolving in terms of technology, methodology and care delivery systems. Retrofitting is an apt way to keep step with the transformation.
