Travis Tyson, AIA, ACHA, NCARB, has joined DesignGroup as principal and healthcare market leader. Tyson brings nearly two decades of experience from Cleveland Clinic, where he most recently served as director of the Healthcare Design Studio, overseeing hundreds of projects ranging from small renovations to major new hospital construction.
Tyson’s tenure at the Cleveland Clinic included leadership roles on countless notable projects, including the Avon Hospital and Richard E. Jacobs Health Center — the organization’s first ground-up regional hospital — and the Mentor Hospital, designed as a highly efficient, modular facility that could be replicated across multiple sites. He also spearheaded the development of enterprise-wide design standards, ensuring consistent branding and functionality across the health system.
Tyson sees significant opportunities ahead as healthcare systems grapple with cost containment pressures, workforce shortages and rapidly evolving technology including AI integration. “We’re in a period of major transformation in healthcare,” he noted. “Design has a critical role to play in creating more efficient, flexible spaces that can adapt to changing needs while supporting both caregivers and patients.”
