Experience:

New Oncology Center, Hackensack University

Hackensack University Medical Center, which is partially supported by Don and Deirdre Imus, was well into the design process for its new Oncology Center when it asked Bob Fox and Bill Browning to facilitate an Environmental Opportunities Charrette. Issues explored included ways to incorporate biophilic design elements such as daylight, natural views through windows, and indoor plants, all of which have been shown to improve patient recovery times in medical environments. With the goal of easing patient stress and promoting healing, the charrette and subsequent report helped educate the project team on environmental design strategies. Detailed Terrapin Case Studies are available in the Workroom, our private extranet full of detailed information and resources to help you make an informed decision.
