UNC Health North Carolina Surgical Hospital
The UNC Health – North Carolina Surgical Hospital stands as a beacon of innovation and thoughtful design, redefining the standard for patient care and operational efficiency. A collaborative effort between Page and UNC Health, this advanced facility seamlessly integrates leading-edge technology with a human-centered approach, ensuring patients and staff benefit from a smarter, more intuitive environment.
A standout feature is the “on-stage/off-stage” concept, which strategically separates clinical workspaces from patient care areas. This approach enhances privacy, reduces noise, and streamlines workflows—allowing caregivers to focus while creating a calmer healing environment.
Another key component of the hospital, the surgical platform, maximizes efficiency with two-sided pre- and post-operative rooms. Validated through Lean planning, this innovative layout optimizes the ratio of recovery rooms per operating room to unprecedented levels—minimizing unnecessary construction costs while improving hospital operations and quality of care.

Houston Methodist Hospital is at the forefront of advanced care, with each new facility thoughtfully designed to integrate the latest technologies—and Cypress Hospital is no exception. As the ninth hospital in the system, its leaders dedicated significant effort to ensuring this campus embodies the “hospital of the future.”
While Houston Methodist had a clear vision, they relied on Page and its consultants to help navigate the vast landscape of emerging technologies—from practical innovations to
cutting-edge, space-age concepts. Partnering with specialists from SSR, the design team developed user-friendly evaluation matrices to determine which technologies to implement at launch, which to accommodate for future integration, and which to revisit later.
From AI and ambient intelligence to smart hospital rooms, robots, drones, digital twins, and autonomous vehicles, the ability to systematically assess and prioritize innovations was key to shaping a truly future-ready hospital.
