Our Processes
At Page, we tailor our approach to each client and project, but the following elements embody “the Page way” regardless of the project type or size:
Thorough Predesign Phase
It is widely recognized in the design and construction industry that a thorough predesign phase leads to better project outcomes. Yet few design firms have the rigor and expertise that Page brings to predesign with our Dynamic Listening® approach. Before we begin looking for solutions, we take the time to work with you to fully understand your goals and the challenges you face. Depending on the project circumstances, our approach may include a Vision Session with your key leaders and stakeholders, tours of the site and existing facilities, review of relevant studies and data, review of the proposed operations, exploration of potential facility strategies, and ultimately a succinct summary of the project requirements and decisions, including a statement of the project’s scope, schedule, and budget.
For some healthcare projects, Page can also bring specialists in Lean planning and Predictive Analytics/Simulation Modeling. These specialists help our clients streamline the planned operations, improve flow, reduce turn-around time, and optimize staffing and other resources.
Planning + Design
At Page, we have found that the best healthcare facility solutions are created through the marriage of skilled planners working closely with talented designers. The planners focus on the functional aspects of the patient and family experience, staff efficiency, flow, reducing travel distances and turn-around times, and the myriad building codes and regulations impacting the facility. Simultaneously, the designers also design around the patient, family and staff experiences, but they look at how image, branding, color, light, textures, and materials will achieve the project goals. Both of these perspectives look at Evidence-Based Design and other research to bring case studies and lessons learned to benefit our clients.
Page is not a “style shop” with one particular architectural design style. Instead, our designs respond to our clients’ goals, the neighborhoods, and the communities in which they are built. Our designs reflects our clients’ priorities and decision.
Integrated, Collaborative Decision-making
Page recognizes that the success of a project is a reflection of its entire team. In healthcare design it is imperative that our design experts work integrally with administrators, physicians, nurses, and other hospital staff to bring the skills and knowledge of each individual into a collaborative environment that builds a holistic project team. Healthcare providers a very aware of the clinical skills and operations required to provide care for the patient while our design experts can provide the planning and tools, models, and benchmarks that will speed the process and allow for informative decision making of an optimal design solution.

Page’s Healthcare facilities are recognized for being: LEAN
Patient & Family-Centered
Evidence-Based Lean Data Informed
Community Oriented Healthy Intuitive Flexible
Sustainable & Resilient
Patient and FamilyCentered
We understand environments need to be supportive of the healing and recovery process, providing patients comfort and empowerment alongside their families to participate and collaborate with healthcare practitioners. Through the four guiding principles of centered care, Page has partnered with clients and community organizations to encourage design that reflects this approach to the planning, delivery, and evaluation of health care.
§ Patient Areas with Choice of Environmental Comforts (i.e. lighting, thermal, noise control)
§ Integrated Technologies of Communication for Sharing Information
§ Family Accommodations and Amenities that Encourage and Support Participation
§
Evidence-Based Lean
Collaborative Spaces that Provide for Continuum of Care
Evidence-based Design (EBD) is a widely recognized approach to gather available research and evidence about a project type in order to evaluate the applicability to a project at hand. For example, there may be applicable research studies about infection control, noise, daylight or color, to name just a few, that might positively influence the use of a space. While architects have always brought their own experiences and lessons learned from previous projects to a client, those schooled in evidence-based design bring an extra level of research and rigor to benefit our clients. A relatively small number of individuals in the industry are certified in this approach and gain the Evidence-based Design Accreditation and Certification (EDAC). Page is proud to have multiple EDAC healthcare specialists throughout our firm.
Lean is a systematic approach to identifying and reducing waste and improving quality that is widely recognized for its application in process-driven healthcare environments. Page’s Lean practitioners, led by a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, work with our clients prior to design to help streamline and optimize operations. This can be extremely beneficial to a healthcare operation because designing a building around a suboptimal process will only perpetuate inefficiencies. By identifying and reducing multiple forms of waste that creep into processes over the years, our clients may save not only significant construction dollars but also reduce operational costs for years to come.
Using Lean in our design process includes activities such as visioning, observing users as they work, collaborative workshops, mock-ups, including contributors in the process, and helping achieve a better project ahead of schedule and under budget.

Community Oriented
To find optimal designs for our clients, Page utilizes predictive analytics to detect patterns and predict future outcomes. Using clients’ existing data sets, we apply the science of analytics to test the operational efficiency of existing or proposed facilities. As a result, we bring quantitative, objective, and data-driven focus to the design process. We use event simulation software, statistical analysis tools, and Lean Six Sigma methods to simulate real-world processes and systems over time.
Our Predictive Analytics and Simulation specialists include PhDs, industrial engineers, and healthcare specialists who have conducted studies for everything from small clinics, emergency departments, and entire hospitals, and we are frequent speakers at national healthcare conferences. Healthcare in the community has always been a viable component of society with healthcare facilities commonly being the foundation that shelters the delivery of care. At Page, we understand our clients’ commitment to serving their communities and creating environments for healthy initiatives that nurture the healing and well-being of patients, families, and employees.
Our design style from each project springs from our client’s vision, but is also heavily influenced by branding and the project’s place in the community.
8 Healthcare
Data-Informed
The commitment to sustain and respect our environment for future generations has challenged the design and construction industry to critically evaluate materials and methods that are utilized on projects, particularly in healthcare environments. As in the delivery of healthcare, “First Do No Harm,” we strive to have our environments perform to the same standard. At Page, the composition of the design considers the use of materials, products, and systems that promote environmental sustainability and regenerative health. We use industry resources such as the WELL Building Standard and LEED for Healthcare so our buildings help people work, live, perform and feel their best.
Intuitive
Sustainable and Resilient
Awareness of the power of the healing environment has guided Page to focus on providing greater comfort and autonomy for patients and their families. The world within a hospital can be a disorienting experience, with its frequent focus on illness, protocols, and equipment. The most successful healing environments start with clear and thoughtful planning. They provide wayfinding that is easy to follow and nurturing therapeutic spaces that reduce stress. Design considerations include:
§ Access to Daylighting within Corridors and Occupied Spaces
§ Views to Nature and/or Access to Gardens
§ Clear On-Stage / Off-Stage Circulation
§ Building configurations and orientations that promote clear wayfinding, without over-reliance on signage.
Healthcare buildings are designed to remain for decades, yet the interior environment needs to adapt and change at the same pace clinical processes evolve with new technology and operations. At Page, we design for long term flexibility, using concepts such as modular bays, planning for changes and future expansions, building infill spaces and shell space where appropriate and always planning ways to accommodate future changes.
With their “critical facility” designation and emergency generators, hospitals have long been sustainable and resilient to a degree. But today’s standards, these terms have new meaning.
§ Sustainable includes designing buildings that are healthier, better for the environment, and more water and energy-efficient than their predecessors. Page has extensive experience designing sustainable buildings. We have over 100 LEED-accredited professionals, and dozens of LEED-certified and other recognized sustainable buildings, including recent healthcare projects that are LEED Gold and Green Globes certified.
§ Resilient facilities have the capacity to endure and bounce back from disturbance or interruption. Page has significant experience in designing mission-critical facilities that can sustain natural and man-made calamities. Our healthcare clients benefit from our mission critical facilities expertise such as data centers and embassy compounds.

Planning / Analytics
Every building project starts with a Pre-design or Planning phase to identify the rationale for the facilities we design. These early steps may include:
Strategic Planning
These studies typically involve facilitating meetings with a board or committee to help build consensus. They may include SWOT Analyses (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats), Scenario Planning, exploration of multiple strategies to address alternative futures and the use of other strategic planning techniques.
Strategic Facility Planning
Many clients seek our help to determine their long-term facility demand and capital forecasts. We typically start with a Facility Condition Assessment, translate the business forecasts into facility estimates, then develop block planning options to think through the sequence of upgrades, renovations, expansions, new construction and moves needed. These studies provide important input to an organization’s Capital Plan.
Master Planning
Prior to building a new building, someone must decide how much land is needed and how it will be used. Page can assist by identifying the facility needs, then developing land use studies in order to evaluate options, identifying a logical sequence of growth over time and planning in long-term flexibility.
Facility Programming
Prior to beginning design, owners first need to document their detailed requirements and expectations for the facility. At Page, we assist our clients in this phase with an organized, analytical and inclusive process that we call Dynamic Listening©. It is based on the Problem Seeking methodology and includes Lean tools to help our clients analyze and document their quantitative and qualitative needs, prioritized to fit within their schedule and budget.
Predictive Analytics
Some clients have situations that are very data-intensive or for which they desire independent data-driven analyses. Whether collected through our on-line surveys, gathered from other sources or created through our simulation models, we know how to analyze and summarize data to help our clients make better-informed decisions. Our simulation models can also be used during design to help optimize building layouts.

Academic Medical Facilities
Academic Medical Centers have a unique combination of facility design needs that Page is extraordinarily well-equipped to provide. Academic Medical Centers need design teams that can design their:
§ Patient care facilities: both inpatient and outpatient, whether on- or off-campus
§ Academic / teaching spaces: from classrooms and labs to auditoria; understanding the trends and evolution of models of teaching
§ Research space, including: wet labs, dry / computational labs, vivaria and data centers
§ Office / Workplace spaces: understanding both global workplace trends and the customs of academia
§ Student Housing: to stay competitive
§ At Page, we are one of the few firms in the world with in-house groups specializing in each of these facility types
This document focuses on the patient care facilities, but also includes our Schools of Medicine, Schools of Nursing and Schools of Health Professions or Allied Health Professionals. If you are interested in our Research, Workplace, or Student Housing portfolios, we would be happy to provide additional information.
At Schools of Medicine, we have developed outstanding teaching spaces for multiple modes of instruction that include all class sizes, all seating arrangements and all pedagogical methods. Our spaces for teaching science include flexible spaces, like the Multi-Disciplinary Lab at Brown University, that supports both Biosciences and the School of Medicine.
Knowing that research spaces must be flexible to accommodate changing needs, funding demands and unique Principal Investigator requirements, Page has careful designs in flexibility with lighting, temperature, access controls, ventilation and monitoring on the front end of design that allows the program to grow as the medical school matures. We continue to push the boundaries of traditional labs and classrooms and are always seeking ways to expand what is possible in a room and extend the activity of the lab and classroom to the building and the larger university community.

Community Hospitals
At Page, we have significant experience designing Community Hospitals of all sizes. We have designed at least a dozen “greenfield” Community Hospitals in as many years, and have hundreds of Community Hospitals where we have worked for decades, designing renovations, expansions and master plans for growth. This experience is a significant benefit to our clients since we bring deep experience in every type of facility commonly found in a Community Hospital— from inpatient units and emergency departments to surgery, imaging, labs, pharmacies and all other support spaces. We bring a wealth of case studies and an understanding of the issues that shape those spaces.
We have designed very large Community Hospital / Medical Centers with hybrid ORs, multiple Medical Office Buildings, parking garages and stand-alone central plants. For these large medical centers, master planning for multiple phases of growth and intuitive wayfinding and designing in expandability, are crucial to having facilities that are easy to operate and easy for patients to navigate for decades to come.
Yet we are also one of the first Architecture/ Engineering firms to have designed multiple Micro-Hospitals across the U.S. for these facilities. We bring a thorough understanding of the staffing ratios and minimum facility requirements allowed by state and national authorities to have a licensed hospital. Some models of Micro-Hospitals focus on being small and efficient on a small parcel of land, without a desire to expand in the future. Other clients wish to start their campus with a compact, highly efficient Micro-Hospital model, but one that can expand over time into a larger Community Hospital or Medical Center.
Page brings the full range of planning and design experience for Community Hospitals of all sizes.

Specialty Hospitals
Page’s portfolio and expertise include a wide range of specialty hospitals and outpatient centers. Our design teams have a thorough understanding of the specialized facility regulations and the unique needs and perspectives of these patient groups.
Pediatric / Children
Children’s hospitals and outpatient facilities are uniquely designed to support children’s emotional and physical needs while integrating the needs of their families. Our goals are your goals: providing family-centered care; creating spaces for children from newborn to young adult; supporting the medical staff’s productivity; and accommodating new, emerging and unknown future technologies.
Women and Children
Our Women and Children facilities focus on providing both highly efficient professional care and environments that promote comfort and tranquility. We work closely with our clients to design facilities that support their mission and reinforce their brand.
Cancer Care
Page has extensive experience at nationally recognized Cancer Centers and neighborhood facilities. Special considerations include providing patients options for treatment settings, respite areas and retail areas—all in an environment that provides serenity and comfort. Acknowledging that Cancer Centers rely heavily on large medical equipment, we provide careful coordination, sensitivity to the patient experience and pathways for future changes.
Surgical
In surgical centers—whether inpatient, outpatient or both—we place extra emphasis on designing efficient flows for patients, staff and materials. Providing the right ratios of pre-op, ORs and post-op spaces is critical for successful operations. Maximizing throughput in a beautiful state-of-the-art facility supports positive patient experiences.
Psychiatric / Behavioral / Brain Health
These facilities require a thorough understanding of the special needs and care of these patients. Safety and security are essential considerations, as are small details that reflect our empathy for the patients and families.

Post Acute / Senior Care
Post-acute and senior care facilities require a combination of housing, hospitality and healthcare design expertise. Page’s extensive portfolio in these areas makes us the ideal design team for post-acute care and senior living facilities. More than 70% of our projects in the past five years have involved housing, hospitality or healthcare settings. We see our responsibility as threefold: to enhance patient / resident, visitor and staff experiences; to foster lifestyle and healing in a safe and secure setting; and to design flexible structures that can be maintained and modified efficiently and economically.
Post-acute care, including rehabilitation and long term acute care (LTAC) facilities, are a blend—and often a bridge—between hospitals and senior living facilities. Our designs promote exceptional patient care in a safe, comfortable and reassuring setting. We strive to create environments—from the patients’ rooms, to group spaces and outdoor gardens—that promote wellness and rehabilitation. We design facilities to nurture patients’ recovery and make their stays as delightful as possible.
Senior living facilities and continuing care retirement communities (CCRC) require extra attention to the unique needs of these populations. At Page, we combine functionality and aesthetics, honor resident choice and encourage autonomy. Our housing and hospitality experience are valuable across the full spectrum of CCRCs. Our deep healthcare experience is especially valuable for assisted living, skilled nursing and memory care patients. Assisted living facilities accommodate those who need care in the activities of daily living, such as bathing, eating, dressing, cooking and medical aid. Skilled nursing is for patients requiring rehabilitative care. Memory care / Alzheimer’s patients require a special level of nursing assistance suited for each resident. Physical layout and security are special concerns for those who remain ambulatory. Memory care is regulated differently than assisted living in 23 states.

Ambulatory Care Facilities
As one of the leading providers of healthcare design services in the U.S., Page has designed hundreds of ambulatory care centers across the country and abroad. With experience ranging from large comprehensive outpatient care centers to individual doctors’ suites, we understand clinical operations, medical equipment and subtler issues such as evidence-based design, branding and employee satisfiers.
Outpatient facilities are distinctly different from hospitals, and it is essential that the design team understands the detailed and sometimes subtle differences. With dwindling reimbursement and the continued shift to delivering 90% of lifetime healthcare needs outside of hospitals, ambulatory facilities must meet higher expectations than ever.
Excellent ambulatory care facilities share the following characteristics:
§ Emphasis on providing patients with the right level of care at the right time and place. Concepts such as a patientcentered medical home, team-based care and telemedicine are changing the way ambulatory care is delivered
§ They are easy for patients to find and access
§ The buildings reinforce the provider’s brand in the community
§ Extreme focus on streamlining operations. Being able to accommodate even one more patient per day affects the bottom line. We use Lean design methodologies and can provide simulation modeling to further fine-tune the program or layout
§ Designing modular layouts increases long-term flexibility. Outpatient facilities need flexibility and adaptability. A clinic may be used by one specialty today and another tomorrow. Multiple medical teams may rotate through the same spaces throughout the day. Over-tailoring a design to one specialty or one vocal provider reduces the usability of that space
§ Designing expandability from the beginning. Decades of experienced have reinforced the value of planning for the future today. Later, when changes or additional space is needed, the facility will still be efficient and easy to use for patients and staff

Page has designed Medical Office Buildings (MOBs) across the country, from master planning and design of the core and shell to the design of countless tenant suites. With this level of experience, Page brings our clients significant best practices and lessons learned.
MOBs should be visible and easy to drive to, with convenient parking. The architecture and signage should reflect and reinforce the brand identity. They must be internally efficient from a rentable area perspective and cost-effective to build. The bay depths and ceiling heights should accommodate a wide range of potential uses, from individual doctor suites to multi-specialty practices, imaging centers and ambulatory surgery centers.
The building layout should allow physicians and staff to access the building and their suites without having to walk past patients in the lobby or waiting rooms. The building must be easy to navigate for patients and families and should provide ample daylight and views to the outdoors. Access to adjacent buildings and garages should be protected from the weather.
To accommodate the possibility of ambulatory surgery, elevators must be appropriately sized, covered drop-off provided and consideration given to a separate discharge area. Ambulance access and emergency generators must also be anticipated.
Parking Garages: Because MOBs require a large number of parking spaces, larger buildings frequently include an adjacent parking garage. There are many types of garages, but those best suited to medical facilities include:
§ As much flat-floor parking as possible. Getting in and out of a vehicle parked on a ramp is difficult for many patients
§ Easy to understand, navigate and exit. Too many parking garages are difficult for firsttime visitors, especially the elderly. Many of the newest garages include electronic systems to guide drivers to available spaces

Government Healthcare
Page’s experience with healthcare facilities for federal and state governments spans the globe. We are accustomed to working with the unique guidelines, criteria and expectations of a wide range of governmental clients.
For almost four decades, Page has maintained a continuous workload of U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Military Health System projects as an integral part of our healthcare practice. We have been responsible for over 20 planning and design commissions spanning over 3 million square feet on 18 bases in the U.S. and around the world within the last 15 years alone.
Our DoD experience ranges from developing Military Handbook 1191 (UFC 4-510-01), which established the Design Criteria for all Military Health System projects, to our work at the Rhine Ordinance Barracks Medical Center in Landstuhl, Germany. We have worked all across the U.S., including recent work at Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage, Alaska, and the Schofield Barracks Behavioral Health / Dental Clinic in Wahiawa, Hawaii. Through such experience, our team is familiar with the most current Federal Medical Design Criteria and Guidelines.
Our most recent experience with the Veteran’s Administration includes the design of the 220,000 square foot (sf) hospital in Tampa, Florida; outpatient mental health and administration building in Houston, Texas; 180,000 sf VA Reno, Nevada, seismic upgrade and clinical addition; outpatient clinic in Birmingham, Alabama; 275,000 sf Austin Outpatient Clinic; 220,000 sf Fort Worth Outpatient Clinic; 150,000 sf Long Term Spinal Cord Injury Facility; and 275,000 sf Clinical Expansion for Mental Health at the VA Campus in Dallas, Texas.
We pride ourselves in managing these types of projects to successful conclusions. One of the ways we ensure project success is by avoiding team and information hand-offs mid-stream of a project. We commit staff at the beginning of these projects who stay with them throughout their completion, move-in and occupancy.
