Rising skylines are creating new possibilities in healthcare. High-rise hospitals are adopting robotics, AI-driven logistics, and purpose-built elevator banks to ensure smooth operations across every floor. With sustainability also in focus — from reducing congestion to tackling the challenges of energy use and the stack effect — these facilities point to a future where vertical design supports safer, greener, and more responsive patient care. Health Facilities Management
From alarms and air-handling systems to hard-surface finishes, many design choices amplify sound in patient care areas. Evidence-based solutions now focus on early planning, smarter material selection and technologies like sound masking to create quieter environments. Facilities managers play a critical role in leading these changes, ensuring hospitals can achieve better “quiet at night” scores while improving overall patient experience. Facility Executive
Facility design is shifting toward spaces that can evolve as needs change and withstand whatever challenges arise. Flexible layouts support clinical adaptability, while features like interfaith prayer rooms and family zones enhance dignity and patient-centered care. Hospitals are also preparing for climate disruptions with flood barriers, backup power and resilient HVAC systems, ensuring continuity when it matters most. Healthcare Facilities Today
Across the country, empty retail spaces stand as reminders of shifting economies — but healthcare systems are finding new purpose within these walls. Adaptive reuse projects transform unused structures into light-filled clinics and surgery centers, reducing development timelines while minimizing environmental impact. The result is care delivered closer to home in spaces that strike a balance between efficiency and patient comfort.
