Firm Profile

PERKINS EASTMAN IS A GLOBAL DESIGN, PLANNING, AND CONSULTING FIRM. OUR TEAM OF OVER 1,100 PROFESSIONALS IN 24 OFFICES ARE BOUND WITH THE VISION THAT DESIGN SHOULD HAVE A DIRECT AND POSITIVE IMPACT ON PEOPLE’S LIVES. Through each of our 20 core practice areas, we design for a sustainable and resilient future, and to enhance the human experience through the built environment.

Our diverse team is composed of a talented and creative group of architects, interior designers, planners, engineers, urban designers, landscape architects, graphic designers, construction specialists, economists, researchers, strategists, programmers, data analysts, environmental and resiliency experts, and many other professionals and practitioners which differentiates us as a firm. We are one community, and our collaborative culture allows us to work across disciplines to promote new ideas and dialogue to the design process.

Our global presence enables us to leverage our firmwide expertise with local delivery through a collaborative design process. Shaping our environment for a more resilient future, we are designers of cities, schools, hotels, residential, offices, health and wellness centers, sports and exhibition venues, retail and entertainment venues, our convergence of expertise and creative process is what makes our firm unique.

Human by Design

Creative solutions built around the needs of people. We are thinkers, dreamers, and doers. We challenge ourselves, stretching each other and pushing boundaries together to create a collaborative organization that lives, evolves, and belongs to us all.

We design for people. We design to enhance the human experience and leave a lasting and positive impact on people’s lives and the world we inhabit. It starts and ends with the human being; if everything is design, everything we do is Human by Design.

We believe design is both art and science, analysis combined with ingenuity. Truly creative and sustainable solutions are found when we question assumptions and challenge the status quo, building in the spaces where innovation meets the imagination.

Our practice is global; our work local. And so our size and diversity is our strength we collaborate seamlessly across borders, barriers, and disciplines to connect people and ideas. By listening well and building consensus, we deliver design solutions that exceed expectations.

The best and boldest work comes through true partnership with our clients as we collaborate to achieve their goals. Sometimes that means challenging ourselves, sometimes it requires challenging them. It always means building trusted relationships that stand the test of time.

We design for a sustainable and resilient future. The bond between humans and nature is unbreakable, and we have an inherent responsibility to enhance the health and wellbeing of our people, our communities, and our planet. Embracing the patterns of nature, we strive to uncover the possibilities of design.

Taking our work from concept to reality lies at the heart of our practice there’s no greater reward than implementing a big idea. We deliver design solutions, always of the highest quality, with care and craft. We strive to deliver sustainability imaginatively. Whatever it takes, we deliver.

We are a diverse and complementary collection of thinkers, dreamers, and doers. We challenge ourselves, stretching each other and pushing boundaries together to create a collaborative organization an organism that lives, evolves, and belongs to us all.

The Simulation Center at the Universityof Miami - callws "Level 6 "houses the entirety of the Simulation Training Center. Level 6 complements the oversubscribed Gordon Center across 14th Street. The Center’s conceptual design allows for completely separated student and “standardized patient” (SP) circulation—which is essential for student training and exams. Students turn left coming out of the elevators and go into a large classroom and then into the Sim Center. Standardize patients immediately encounter reception, and turn left to go to their training space and then onward into the Sim Center. Circulation and storage are ample, with spaces allowing for significant flexibility and generous day-lighting.

The simulation lab at NYU Winthrop is a suite with three exam rooms and a surgical room with medical mannequins. The lab is used to train medical students, healthcare professionals, and first responders. The simulation rooms are equipped with a recording system and control room that allows for the review of the performance session after the exam. The simulation lab program is connected with SUNY Stony Brook's medical school where students from the school can take classes in this suite.

The students are being trained on 10 new state of the art “high fidelity” patient simulator manikins where students can learn to detect and treat health problems while the lifelike simulators respond to treatment. The Center includes: two adult manikins, females that have the ability to simulate childbirth (SimMom); pediatric manikins ages 5 to 8 years; and baby manikins.

"We use simulation as an educational tool that allows our students to have active participation in simulated scenarios," says Robert Scoloveno, an assistant professor at the Rutgers School of Nursing–Camden. “These range from acute situations, such as a heart attack, to situations as simple as communication with a patient. “The manikins allow us to standardize the experience so that every student has the same experience,” Scoloveno says.

The Center for Simulation and Clinical Skills supports UCSF's educational mission by creating opportunities for teaching, learning, and assessment using simulation as an educational strategy. Simulation is defined as an educational modality with which the learner physically interacts to mimic an aspect of clinical care for the purpose of teaching or assessment. Activities at the center range from those that use actors (standardized patients), to activities with partial task trainers and/or mannequins. The center serves all five health professional schools at UCSF and provides learning opportunities across the continuum of health professions education.

The Rutgers-Newark School of Nursing Simulation lab is approximately 4,250 sf of instructional space in the basement level of Ackerman Hall. The scope of work included the demolition and full renovation of the existing simulation spaces.

The structured clinical exam (OSCE) space includes: Clinical evaluation rooms with digital audio/ video capture, one-way mirror observation and audio for live viewing and a skills area with seven computer documentation stations for learner post-encounter exercises. Room includes VCR/DVD, large monitor, and digital audio/video capture. Though staged, real life scenarios are utilized with carefully trained standardized patients so that each student’s experience is identical. This makes it a powerful and valuable tool to assess a learner’s competence in a tested area and to support patient and family safety initiatives.

The Simulation Center at IMC College offers students a comprehensive learning experience, integrating various programs like Medical and Nursing Schools. It utilizes standardized patients, high- and lowfidelity patient manikins, and possibly virtual reality to create interactive, real-world simulations.

The center's range of simulation sophistication caters to different learning needs, from basic body parts reproduction to complex human interactions with simulated patients or high-fidelity human patient simulators. This approach addresses skill training and proficiency challenges, encouraging physicians to become lifelong learners. It accommodates heavy usage, supporting simultaneous and separate training modules and allowing after-hours student practice and third-party training exercises by nonIMC entities. After completing the skills and simulation sequences at the IMC Training Center, students proceed to clinical experiences within the IMC health system and the Jeddah region.

City University of New York: Nursing Simulation Center

The Nursing program prepares students to become members of the health team in health service agencies, clinics, community and long-term care agencies and hospitals. In addition to academic coursework in the classroom, skills are practiced in the College simulation laboratory and health care facilities.

The Nursing program at New York City College of Technology bases its curriculum on Watson’s philosophy and theory of human caring in nursing. Students learn to care for clients by providing a supportive, protective and/or corrective environment, with attention to the client’s physical, emotional, socio-cultural and spiritual condition. Technology is infused into the curriculum through clinical laboratory simulation and BlackBoard enhancement of all the nursing courses.
