Beacons of Wellness
Indian
Fall 2023, ARCH 8950
Professor David Allison and Dr. Lyndsey Deaton Group: Rishaad Amlani, Zack Chung, Janelle Eastman
This was a group project for a vertical studio in the Architecture + Health program. My roles included contributions to design concepts and development, incorporating and quantifying the AIA COTE 10 Design for Excellence criteria, and generating and iterating diagrams and drawings.
This proposed design is a 98-bed hospital near Charlotte. Our design addresses a few primary health needs of the local community, including access to healthcare services and wellness opportunities. Additionally, hospitals typically consume significant amounts of energy, so we have implemented onsite energy generation and strategies to reduce this hospital’s energy needs, leading to a 31% decrease in energy use.
This proposed wellness campus prioritizes energy efficiency, environmental integration, community access and connection, and creating wellness opportunies.
The unique subterranean diagnostics department features courtyards and lightwells that provide natural daylight and views of nature to every department, and the elevated inpatient units serve as a symbol of hope and provide easy wayfinding for the community.

AIA COTE 10 Design for Excellence
Over 15 million gallons of stormwater is collected from roofs and paved surfaces annually, directed into bioswales and through raingardens, and filtered before it reaches the stream on site, which is home to the critically endangered Carolina Heelsplitters.
Native plant and animal species are restored on the site.

2 Healing Moments
Voznesens’k,
Spring 2024, ARCH 8960
Professor:
Dr. Lyndsey Deaton
Individual project
This residential school in Voznesens’k, Ukraine responds to current community needs that include access to healthcare and pharmacy services, mental health support services, space for community events and involvement, and access to in-person education.
The design for this school considers the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the opportunity for post-traumatic growth (PTG) in Voznesens’k. PTG suggests that following a traumatic experience, there is an opportunity for an individual to experience increased empathy, appreciation for life and others, and sense of purpose in life. The built environment can support this growth through sensory engagement, social support, access to the natural environment, and high and low stimulus spaces.
Atriums and skylights in every building in this project provide sensory engagement, access to the natural environment, and high stimulus spaces to encourage PTG for the students and the community.
MAINENTR.
Nook
Each bedroom has a reading nook and an en suite bathroom to support PTG for the students. The reading nook offers a place to relax as well as an opportunity to personalize space. En suite bathrooms protect students’ privacy and avoid potentially vulnerable or triggering scenarios.
ALTANKA MONUMENT
Courtyard
Structure/Materials
The structure is a two-way flat plate system with site-cast post-tensioned concrete. This system can accommodate future adaptations and use locally available materials. The roof and skylights are supported with steel beams and girders.
3 Symbiosis:Cardiovascular Center of Excellence
Indianapolis, IN
Fall 2024, Healthcare Design Conference Student Design Charrette
Professor David Allison and Dr. Lyndsey Deaton Group: Rojer TC, Janelle Eastman, Yash Salian, Angela Liu
Program: 180,000 SF
This was a group project that was part of the 2024 Healthcare Design Conference Student Charrette. We completed this project in its entirety within 48 hours.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Indiana. Compared to the United States, there is a higher percentage of adults who are overweight or obese, and fewer adults in Indiana participate in 150+ minutes of aerobic activity per week (American Heart Assoc., 2017).
This Indiana University Cardiovascular Center of Excellence will support symbiotic relationships related to cardiovascular health by providing both resources and opportunities for the Indianapolis community to increase activity levels, decrease obesity, and prevent cardiovascular disease as well as receive medical treatment when necessary.

Sea-ing Green
Charleston, SC
Fall 2024, ARCH 8980
Professor David Allison and Dr. Lyndsey Deaton Group: Janelle Eastman, Neil Zhou, Emily Eller
This was a group project for a vertical studio in Clemson’s Architecture + Health program. I was responsible for all medical planning, and contributed to modeling and graphics for the project.
Sea-ing Green is a 320-bed hospital that is part of the Medical District of Charleston, SC. As with many coastal areas, Charleston, SC faces ongoing flooding threats from sea level rise, sunny day flooding, and extreme weather events, and a lack of green spaces.
In response to these conditions, this hospital parti incorporates strategies to increase resilience in flooding events and distribute access to green spaces throughout the hospital. The specific intention is to provide a green space experience to four key hospital populations: patients, staff, visitors, and the Charleston community.

This masterplan encourages the community to be active with a walking path around the retention pond and shaded pathways to increase comfort and campus walkability. A centrally located pavilion encourages gatherings and provides a venue for events. Vehicles are removed from central areas to improve pedestrian safety. The plaza space serves as an outdoor transitional space between the Green Spine and the hospital.

MEDICAL PLANNING
The medical plans for this hospital focus on providing critical adjacencies and separating front of house and back of house circulation while also distributing access to green spaces throughout the hospital.
The Emergency Department, Imaging, and Surgery are all vertically adjacent and connected to the EMS drop off at the ground level.
Central Sterile Processing, the Kitchen, Pharmacy, and the Clinical Lab are all vertically connected to Receiving on the ground level.
The reception area is consistently located on all Diagnostic & Treatment levels to improve wayfinding for patients and visitors.

THANK YOU
Prior to joining Clemson’s Architecture + Health program, I studied psychology and worked primarily in management, which prepared me well for this journey in many ways. I am motivated and efficient when working independently and as part of a team. Experience in a management role provided me with an opportunity to establish my leadership style and gain experience building a team and leading with a growth mindset. I believe strongly in the value of listening closely and searching for compromise and solutions, which are valuable skills in the design process.
I will be graduating in May 2025, and as I look forward to the next season of life and my career I plan to pursue licensure as I continue to grow in design and medical planning.
I appreciate this opportunity to share my work, and hope for an opportunity to meet soon.
