This annual program honors the best design and architecture in the health care industry. Jurors from several organizations, including The Center for Health Design, the International Interior Design Association, and the American Society of Interior Designers evaluate submissions and present awards.
"The projects honored this year represent our global health practice's commitment to architectural design that is both uplifting and beautiful, while also highly functional and efficient for those who deliver care within," said Hank Adams, AIA, FACHA, EDAC, HDR's Global Director of Health. "I'm proud of our project teams who approached two different typologies in two different parts of the world and have advanced the boundaries of the human experience in both care environments."
Designed by PennFIRST, an integrated project delivery team including HDR, Foster+Partners, BR+A, LF Driscoll, and Balfour Beatty in partnership with Penn Medicine’s clinical and facilities experts, the Pavilion at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania is an inpatient facility and a new institutional and architectural icon for Penn Medicine on its extensive academic medical campus in West Philadelphia. The building is sustainable, efficient, uplifting, and sensitive to its surroundings, responding to the needs of people.
