INTERIOR DESIGN

Healthcare has shifted from a volume-driven to a value-driven practice. We need to do the same. Smart front-end thinking goes a long way. Array goes to great lengths to substantiate our solutions with hard data. Our pragmatic process, intensified by our unique planning toolkit, enables more-informed decisions to maximize flexibility, efficiency, and return on investment. Once a strategic, programmatic directive is formulated, it serves as a springboard and checkpoint for designing the most appropriate solution.

Healthcare buildings are inherently complex. Designing these spaces requires developing and implementing concepts that will represent transformative built solutions all the while appreciating the healing that will take place and the lives subtly affected by the building’s shape, performance, and functional adjacencies.

Designing for healthcare is a complex and rewarding venture. To completely dedicate the firm’s resources to this endeavor provides Array the opportunity to truly specialize— something designers are drawn to with a singular focus.

There has been a sea change in the way we shape healthcare environments. Beyond creating beautiful spaces influenced by hospitality, we have a responsibility to bring the latest evidence, benchmark data, lean thinking, and examples of successful projects into the design process. By doing so, we help our clients realize their full potential to drive a change in culture, improve patient outcomes, increase patient satisfaction, and foster an environment of collaboration.

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT Our core mission is the same as that of our clients, improve the quality of our work, increase our efficiency, and motivate our staff to reach for success.

At Array, we are establishing a culture of continuous improvement at all levels of our organization. We seek to empower team members to be agents for good change. We have re-designed our design process using Lean as a foundation for a unique Process-Led approach that better meets the needs of today’s healthcare organization. We believe the transformative improvement that leading health systems, who have embraced Lean and other improvement approaches, have achieved is equally applicable to healthcare design.

STRATEGY ADVISORY SERVICES The need for healthcare real estate portfolio optimization has never been greater. With the acceleration in mergers and acquisitions and the evolution of clinical models, healthcare organizations must continuously evaluate their physical assets and maximize the value they derive from them. Our strategic advisory team brings clarity to the assessment process.

Together we highlight opportunities, adjust for deficiencies, uncover overlaps & redundancies and proactively plan for change and growth. Whether you are just beginning to evaluate your portfolio, or you are looking for options and opinions on further expansions, we can journey with you to discover and implement the optimal asset mix.

PROJECT OPERATIONS As Array continues to disrupt the healthcare design and consulting marketplace with innovative and lean design thinking, firm leadership proactively plans for continued success as its studios and personnel grow. Our commitment to project management at Array continuing as a center of excellence is important firm-wide and offers our clients the confidence of consistently high-value brought to their built initiatives.
