Students in sciences programs at Washington State University Vancouver went back to school this semester to a new Life Sciences Building on campus, with specialized spaces for those studying nursing, psychology, neuroscience, medicine and molecular biology. Designed by SRG + CannonDesign, this building looks to be an educational space that prioritizes well-being, inclusion and sustainability. Inside, the building offers universally accessible and inclusive spaces that prioritize health and wellness, utilizing non-toxic materials, ample natural light and expansive views. On the exterior, the sloped roof is designed not only to preserve views of the Mt. St. Helens corridor, but also to incorporate advanced sustainable systems, greatly reducing the building’s environmental footprint. https://hubs.la/Q02NCLh60

At CannonDesign, we believe in the power of design to transform lives. Our partnership with Matheny Medical and Educational Center is a testament to this belief. Working alongside Matheny, we’ve helped shape a bold master plan for its future campus, one that’s thoughtfully tailored to the unique needs of individuals with complex disabilities. This project exemplifies how thoughtful design can create environments that not only meet the highest standards of care but also foster a true sense of home and community. https://lnkd.in/ge9rQgu2

Congratulations to the BJC HealthCare and the project team on the opening of the latest phase of their Campus Renewal Project-- the new pedestrian bridge across Barnes-Jewish Plaza and the Plaza Coffee Bar. The brighter and wider pedestrian bridge connects Barnes-Jewish Hospital’s Plaza Garage to the main lobby, which is also undergoing a major renovation as part of the project. We were glad to be there for the ribbon cutting alongside McCarthy Building Companies, Inc., BR+A Consulting Engineers, H2Ltg and other partners!

"How we design an environment can reinforce existing traumas, even create new ones. Or we can use this opportunity to start the healing process from the moment they enter." Karri May, AIA, ACHA, LEED AP, leader of our Global Women and Children’s Health Practice, aims to ensure her team creates spaces and environments that heal but also create moments of joy where it’s least expected. This is especially vital in pediatric mental health spaces, which have traditionally been cold and impersonal places that can be frightening and traumatic for kids. Karri offers her perspective on some inventive and cutting edge design strategies being used by our pediatric and mental health teams in ongoing projects for Oklahoma Children's Hospital OU Health, Dayton Children's Hospital and more: https://lnkd.in/gSzQHp98

From all angles, the rapidly changing education landscape is fueling renewed skepticism around the value of higher education. But amid all the change, there's a constant truth: education and training have the most potential to shape our future. That's why, now more than ever, we're challenged to think differently about how design can make the on-campus experience valuable to students, faculty and communities. We asked experts in our education practice about designing for the future of the six major typologies on college and university campuses. Here's what they said: https://lnkd.in/guRM5Rwc
