New technologies, modalities and economic environments—along with a rise in efficiency and performance standards expected by healthcare institutions—have created opportunities for creativity and innovation in healthcare architecture. PAYETTE uses evidence-based principles to design for human beings—patients, visitors and staff—who value nature and light, transparency and warmth.
