REDEFINING THE
COMMUNITY
HOSPITAL
Northwest CommuNity hospital
south pavilioN
Arlington Heights, Illinois | 225,000 sf
This project presents a new progressive face to the
community and has been designed to address several
program deficiencies of the current campus. This inpatient
building represents the opportunity to continue the family-
centered focus and healing environment that has been
integral to the Hospital’s mission. The over-arching goal for
the project was to re-invent the brand identity for NCH and
to create a new definition for “community hospital” .
The design creates a healthcare environment that
communicates the importance of nature and community to
the healing process. Our innate need for nature and shelter
is addressed by providing a sense of enclosure as well as a
connection to the broader environment. Sheltered gathering
places and lowered ceilings in key places provide a safe and
comforting environment to heal. The complexities of the
natural environment have been interpreted and seamlessly
incorporated into elements of the interior through color,
pattern, and form, providing a positive effect on one’s
overall sense of well-being.

REGIONAL
PRESENCE AND

BRAND OF A TOP
INSTITUTION
king faisal specialist hospital
and research center
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia | 1,862,000 sf
King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center is one of the
Middle East’s top medical institutions. With the addition of the
King Abdullah Center for Cancer and Liver Diseases, the National
Biotechnology and Research Center, Family Clinics and Royal Wing,
the Hospital wanted to expand their presence in cancer treatment
and research and support clinical care, clinical practice and research
modalities while enhancing their brand.
Cannon Design supported this mission through development of
design solutions that integrate the exterior and interior and convey
a consistent brand image through meticulous attention to detail,
sustainable design strategies and integration of the landscape.
The team pursued consistency in design vocabulary with regard to
materials hierarchy, lighting and interior architectural detailing. The
comprehensive materials palette consists of two primary components;
a core neutral palette that weds exterior and interior materiality and
assists in locating key destinations and accent color palettes that add
variety. These palettes and associated patterning are influenced by the
natural and built environments of Saudi Arabia and Riyadh. Regional
design considerations include: the impact large families have on the
design of various spaces, separation of sexes in specific areas, light
control and mitigation of airborne sand and dust.

Green briAr outpAtient center
Downers Grove, Illinois | 15,000 sf
This center is one of the first newly branded outpatient facilities for
Advocate Health. As a result, the design needed to convey a unique
and memorable image.
The design is simple and authentic, based upon the Japanese world
view of Wabi sabi. With its roots in the tea ceremony, principles of
harmony, respect, purity and tranquility are infused throughout. The
tea house’s design is deliberately clean and simple, as it is meant
to be a sanctuary. Wabi sabi inspires minimalism so the spaces are
appropriately muted, using an earthy neutral palette of brown, black,
grey, green and rust.
A shoji screen element is used consistently throughout to separate
the registration area from the reception area and in diagnostic rooms
where they mask medical equipment and storage areas. Back-lit
glass art panels feature photographs of nature and create a feeling of
visiting a tea house, while serving as a positive distraction from the
large-scale medical equipment.

The design for the hospital expansion, dubbed an “extreme makeover”by
expanSion hospital administration, completely re-imaged the hospital, enhancing an image
for advanced technology and service.
The design of the expansion seeks to recapture what is typically lost when
expanding on a hospital campus: light, open space, tranquility and natural
materials. Granite, wood and glass panels from the building’s exterior flow
seamlessly into the main lobby, creating textured wall surfaces within. Double-
height public spaces and a bridge connecting new and existing patient floors
crossing an open light well creates an active dialogue between interior and
exterior. Light, green space and landscape penetrate the interior.

The goal for this teaching hospital was to create a new patient care
tower that refreshed their image and established a marketplace
position, while upholding their commitment to environmental design.
The design of the project went beyond aesthetic considerations to
better support excellence in patient- and family-focused care.
Balance of color and texture played a crucial role in showcasing the
hospital’s vision to connect with nature and provide a supportive
patient experience. Building form, materials and color palette
harmonize and invoke feelings of confidence, inspiration and healing.
The project is certified LEED Gold.
Positive distractions are integral to the patient and visitor experience
as illustrated through various amenities including a rooftop deck
that overlooks a healing garden. Most noticeably, perhaps, is the
interactive LED light wall that includes motion sensors and fosters a
sense of discovery for visitors big and small.

MileStOne prOject1
Peoria, Illinois | 440,000 sf
As a Catholic hospital with St. Francis of Assisi as their patron saint,
OSF wanted the project’s design to convey the significance of his life
and provide an engaging and educational environment for children while
conveying a sense of medical excellence for all patients and families.
The Canticle of the Sun, authored by their patron saint, provided the
framework for the building’s design and offered variety, interest and a
wayfinding strategy. The facility cares for high-acuity patients, many of
whom travel from long distances, so taking into account the needs of
their families was an extremely important consideration.
A vibrant, full-spectrum color palette addresses the needs of children in
the hospital. Children respond to their environment differently than adults:
their point of view is lower, scale of spaces and forms can impact them
adversely and the interesting use of clear, vibrant saturations of color can
provide a positive distraction for adventurous minds. Concurrently, we
were challenged to design for the needs of the adult population. While still
colorful, the manner in which color is applied and the palettes used within
adult areas are more sophisticated and restrained. All details throughout
the building respond to The Canticle, including the use of artwork,
wayfinding and graphics.

Children have a different point-of-view, engage with their

findings to create an interactive space for pediatric populations,
including a motion-sensor visual play area, smaller-scale furniture
and spaces for family-inclusive care.

All buildings on-site complement each other, incorporating key
design elements that link inpatient and outpatient campuses. With a
flexible clinical core area wrapped in a glass-and-metal “necklace” of
public spaces, the facility design recognizes qualitative differences
between spaces devoted to treatment and those devoted to
preventative screening by providing two major independent
entrances linked by a shared conduit of public space.
Stony Brook UniverSity Medical center
Stony Brook, New York | 415,000 sf
The Stony Brook University Medical Center campus has experienced significant growth since its construction in the 1980s.
In order to better respond to the needs of their patients, visitors and staff, a renovation and expansion of the hospital
was designed. Along with the ability to meet the needs of the surrounding community, the client also wanted to use this
opportunity to create a striking new campus gateway image and to improve wayfinding among the facilities.
The new entrance and lobby of the major expansion provides a striking new public space from which each of the major clinical
areas can be readily accessed. The original entry was internally focused and was difficult to navigate. The new entryway
design creates an efficient connection to various department areas, improved segregation and security measures, and
significantly increased connection to existing parking facilities.

technology infrastructure to accommodate future change, increasing the capacity
