We Make Places for Healing The Challenges
Our Approach
The challenges of healthcare design look very different depending on where you stand. An organization must balance the big picture with the smallest details, the demands of today with the possibilities of tomorrow. Clinicians and caregivers must toggle between break room and operating room, handson and high-tech. Patients and families have needs that are immediate, intimate, and individual, in an environment that if not designed properly can seem uncaring and impersonal and at odds with a hospital’s mission.
Healthcare is central to our practice and we have honed our ability to span the high-level, long horizon of healthcare’s unfolding future and the on-the-ground, of-the-moment patient perspective. We collaborate with clinicians, administrators, researchers, and patients to create healthcare facilities that are flexible, cost-efficient, and market responsive. We embrace evidence-based design to create patient-oriented spaces within a technically and clinically complex environment. In a sector where advances happen daily, we draw on our everevolving knowledge of science and technology to create patient, family, and caregiver friendly spaces that foster health and healing. 1

wellness by design Penn Medicine Radnor Ambulatory Care Center key information Location Radnor, PA Building Area 250,000 SF Awards AIA Academy of Architecture for Health, Healthcare Design Award / AIA Pennsylvania Honor Award / AIA Philadelphia Honor Award
Having outgrown an ambulatory care facility with inadequate ceiling heights and disorganized layouts, Penn Medicine sought to build a new ambulatory care center in the suburbs of Philadelphia, designed for regeneration of both the site and human health. Sustainability and enhancing the experience of patients, visitors and staff were critical concerns. The project is the latest among Penn Medicine’s expanding list of multi-specialty ambulatory centers aimed at
bringing convenient care closer to patients and families. Double the size of the existing Penn Medicine location in Radnor, the new facility provides comprehensive cancer care, including radiation oncology services and chemotherapy, as well as primary care, heart and vascular, orthopedic and neuroscience care. The clinical program includes six operating rooms and four endoscopy suites, along with full laboratory services.
Recognizing the inherent stress of visiting an ambulatory care center, Ballinger took inspiration from the hospitality industry to create a healing environment that prioritizes the patient experience. Upon arrival, patients enter a light-filled lobby featuring a warm palette. Interior materials address functionality, durability and infection control concerns, and visually communicate tranquility.
“The building serves as an elegant but understated backdrop to its landscape with elements of delight that are impactful and purposeful.” AIA Healthcare Design Awards Jury

The Ann B. Barshinger Cancer Institute transformed and consolidated all services into a center for healing. Focused on regeneration and reconnection to living systems, the two-story expansion extends on a radial grid from a central courtyard healing garden. Glazed skins and multiple points of access provide a continuous dialogue between interior and exterior, creating a visually open environment that reduces anxiety and stress for patients who deal with serious and chronic illness. The program for the 100,000 SF space includes exam and procedure rooms, physician offices, staff workspace, consultation areas, a cancer resource library, state-of-the-art conference areas, an imaging center, an infusion center, a healing garden, a meditation room and a children’s play area.
The building design reflects a new model for cancer care and focuses on two primary concepts: 1) an interdisciplinary and patientcentric approach and 2) connection and relationship to natural systems as catalysts in the healing process. The exterior materials of glass, steel and brick represent transparency, simplicity and strength while the interior materials of wood, terrazzo, terra cotta and colored-glass evoke biophilic responses and aid wayfinding. The interior design is informed by research on healing. The exam rooms are the quietest places in the building and the treatment spaces provide privacy as well as vast views of the fields and landscape that surround the building.

centralized and compassionate cancer care Bryan Medical Center April Sampson Cancer Center key information Location Lincoln, NE Area 128,500 SF
Ballinger is currently providing architecture and engineering services for a new comprehensive cancer center that will consolidate services from multiple sites while giving the center a new, iconic presence. Bryan Health is a nonprofit health system in Nebraska that provides care to diverse communities throughout the state. The new cancer center will enable coordination of care from multiple specialties in one convenient location.
Ballinger began the project with programming workshops discussing industry trends and project specific goals. The room-by-room program was developed to reflect patient volume growth and target utilization rates. The team also did benchmarking and research data, analysis of key adjacency relationships and optimization of patient flows. The resulting design maximizes the site’s natural features, giving infusion bays views of a landscape that includes meadows, woods and water features.
“The scale of health facilities has become immense; it is easy for patients and families to feel overwhelmed and for caregivers to be overshadowed by technology. At its core, however, medicine and its delivery is the most humane and noble of all endeavors—to care for the sick, to heal the afflicted. Architecture that supports this should be the same: capable of efficiently accommodating the ever-evolving needs of healthcare, while lifting our spirits and helping affirm our humanity.” Eric Swanson, AIA Senior Principal

speed to market through adaptive reuse NYU Langone Health Ambulatory Care Center key information Location New York, NY Building Area 320,000 SF Awards Symposium Distinction Award for Adaptive Reuse
The NYU Langone Health Ambulatory Care Center project transformed an inwardfocused 50-year-old telecommunications office building into a vibrant new center for outpatient care. The 15 floors acquired by NYU Langone Health of the 24-story building have been fully renovated for outpatient use, and are served by modernized and expanded building infrastructure located on three common equipment floors. Ballinger was responsible for the planning, design and engineering of the renovation.
Constructed in 1967, the original building had minimal public presence, and public access to the ground floor had been discontinued. The renovation of the ground floor and adjacent North and South Plazas created an open and welcoming arrival sequence. Offstreet vehicular queuing at the north is visually connected to interior lobby waiting and amenity areas. The lobby and café look out to reimagined outdoor public space to the south. The Ambulatory Care Center offers medical specialties including preadmission testing, dermatology, endoscopy, gastroenterology, pain management, neurology, and ear,
nose, and throat. Additional ambulatory care programs to be housed in the new center include Endoscopy, Oncology, Cancer and Multiple Sclerosis, Infusion Therapy, Neurology, Pain Specialization, ENT, Dermatology, Wound Care & Hyperbaric Treatment and Ambulatory Surgery. It’s also home to Rusk Rehabilitation, one of the country’s top rehabilitation programs.

New York-Presbyterian’s new Ambulatory Care Center will improve operational efficiency and provide state of the art interdisciplinary treatment for digestive diseases, cancer, and other outpatient services. Ballinger was the medical architect for the design of a new 500,000 SF Ambulatory Care Center with a focus on cancer services for this urban institution on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Patient and family centered care is threaded throughout the building’s design.
The Ambulatory Surgery, Endoscopy, and Interventional Radiology suites feature 100% private prep/recovery rooms that are dedicated to the patient and their family for the duration of their stay. Exam rooms in the Pre Admission Testing, Radiation Oncology, and Digestive Disease areas are designed as pods with shared off-stage care giver work area supporting interdisciplinary collaboration. The facility is designed with future flexibility in mind. Each floor is designed with standardized procedure rooms and patient areas, allowing flexible use of the rooms and changing technology over time. The
building’s infrastructure has been designed to accommodate a future vertical expansion that will add over 200,000 SF of additional patient care spaces.

reimaging feminine design NYU Langone Health Women’s Health Center key information Location New York, NY Area 195,000 SF
A modern center designed for women’s unique needs is the inspiration behind every interior design feature in the new health center. Renovations include five floors of clinical services. The first phase includes an IVF clinic and procedure suite; maternal-fetal medical exam and ultrasound facilities; a gynecology procedure suite; a dedicated floor for obstetrics and gynecology; and a private ground-floor lobby.
The facility is designed for simple navigation and a sense of calm familiarity, minimizing any sense of disorientation or uncertainty for patients and their families. Designing spaces attuned to women was one of the client’s main goals – and a goal which required critically interrogating the idea of “feminine design,” expanding it to a modern reflection of what a feminine and inclusive
space can be. To do this, the Ballinger design team held a series of focus sessions and charrettes to understand what feminine design means beyond traditional florals and a pink color palette. Concepts were grouped into affinity categories such as “independence,” “confidence,” and “variety.” What emerged were clear themes of patients’ agency and choice in their healthcare decisions. These understandings were then translated into textile, furniture, and lighting fixtures created almost
exclusively by female artists and designers. Largescale artworks unify the building’s central atrium and include a five-story mural by textile artist Anne Lindberg and a tessellating tile floor inspired by the work of Marjorie Rice, who discovered several previously unknown tessellating pentagons in the 1970s. The first-floor lobby features work by Marela Zacarias, with a large-scale installation that takes inspiration from silks and other textiles.
