Spaulding Hospital
“Designed as a therapy tool, the building provides holistic patient care.” Spaulding is a world-renowned facility that took a step back during the design phase to work with the Stakeholders to better understand the healing process to create the ability to increase opportunities for patients to expediate the recovery process and gain confidence and independence. The site is directly affected by the threat of rising sea levels that resiliency became a direct design strategy to ensure the strength of the building for years to come after its construction.
