IIDA Announces 7th Annual Healthcare Design Awards Winners

IIDA announces the winners of the 2018 Healthcare Design Awards, which honor and celebrate outstanding originality and excellence in the design and furnishings of healthcare interior spaces.

“As the commercial design industry as a whole continues to place people and their needs at the center of the spaces they create, healthcare designers are paving the way forward,” said IIDA Executive Vice President and CEO Cheryl S. Durst, Hon. FIIDA. “These projects expertly leverage design as a solution – a driver of positive patient outcomes – and serve as an example to which all of those in the profession can aspire.”

Projects were reviewed by a panel of healthcare design professionals, including Michelle Clark, IIDA, senior associate, Rees Associates; Kerianne W. Graham, AIA, senior associate and healthcare architect, NBBJ and Anita Rossen, healthcare practice leader, Rice Fergus Miller, Inc. – a B Corp.
