Civil Engineering and Landscape Architecture in Health Care Design

The built environment is a physical expression of the brand and values of an organization. Practitioners in the design and construction industry know that the expertise of civil engineers and landscape architects, among many others, are important components of a healthcare facility design team. Yes, utilities, stormwater, parking, circulation, and landscape are all essential building blocks of a project, but how do these elements combine with the architecture to create facilities that evoke a positive emotional experience for its users? How does the design and planning of a healthcare campus begin to communicate an understanding of the customer’s needs, emotions, and outlook on health?

A fundamental notion is that one’s experience is contextual and affected by the setting or circumstances in which the event occurs. It is influenced by everything else in the user’s life, including their emotional mindset in the moment. In this webinar, participants will learn how civil and landscape design can influence what one experiences to create a sense of certainty and control in an often-uncertain circumstance.
