What balance do corporate occupiers and building owners need to strike to ensure that workplace amenities have the expected impact, while keeping cost in mind? Page experts will share insights at the CoreNet Global North America Summit during an in-depth discussion on “Skipping the Onsite Retail and Gym in Favor of More Office Focus Space.” Page Interior Design Director Sheri Ginett, Design Director Matthew L., and Operations Director David Quenemoen, will be joined by Robert "Bart" Olds, Managing Director for Karlin Real Estate in a Nov. 1 presentation, 1-2 pm – please plan to join us! Here’s what you’ll learn: 👉🏻 Why evolving workplace amenities need to be more flexible and responsive to adapt to rapidly changing community and tenant needs. 👉🏻 How high-performance workplaces can entice employees to choose to work in the office. 👉🏻 The research showing that employees place more value on maker spaces, quiet zones, and focus rooms, rather than amenities such as fitness centers and coffee shops. 👉🏻 How to balance the value-add versus cost. 👉🏻 The pros and cons of mixed-use building typologies versus mixed-use placemaking. 👉🏻 How mixed-use is often oversimplified and why there is no one-size-fits-all approach to workplace amenities. 👉🏻 Ways that corporate tenants, building owners, and developers can collaborate on the right approach to providing an optimal experience for health and productivity.

On October 26, 2001, the USA Patriot Act was signed into law. Twenty-three years later, Page Design Director Mark Wagner reflects back on his experiences at Ground Zero in “Beyond the Rubble: How the 9/11 Museum Redefined Building Impact and Cultural Resonance.” “A building is more than just the physical space that houses its programs; it's about how those programs resonate in our minds and continue to inspire conversations,” Mark writes. “Museums should evolve and provoke thought, remaining relevant not only for this generation but for future ones as well.” Read the article here: https://bit.ly/4eVfcZw #September11 #NeverForget #Museum #Design @911memorial Photography credits: NOAA; Iwan Baan; James Ewing/JBSA Images

“Airports connect us to the rest of the world and are gateways to our hometowns. Their importance to us as individuals, their significant civic role in communities, and the technical challenges and complexities of design are why I find working on aviation projects so rewarding — I love a good challenge!    “Airport design projects demand a high level of technical skill, specialized knowledge, and extensive pre-planning. Well-designed airports marry a contextual sense of place with intuitive spatial queues for clarity of movement and wayfinding. One of the aspects I enjoy most is bringing diverse stakeholders together -- from the airport operator/owner to the airlines, FAA, TSA, CBP, rental car companies, concessionaires, and the traveling public -- to address varying needs and competing interests while unifying the project team around a common design vision.    “Designing a public space that efficiently serves tens of millions of travelers each year while at the same time beautifully delivers first impressions of the culture and character of a local community, is a remarkable opportunity. It’s wonderful to see passengers alive with energy in a terminal project that we designed – and it’s immensely gratifying to know how our work and design leadership makes meaningful, positive impacts on travelers and communities.” – Page Aviation Project Director Paul Bielamowicz   #Aviation #AirportDesign #Airports #DesignThatMakesLivesBetter #DesignMoments Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) 📸: Tim Griffith

How can women in architecture support each other? Fresh off attending and presenting at the AIA Women in Architecture Leadership Summit in Chicago, Page Business Development Director Rachel Hollon Brehm shared these insights: ➡️ Women in the AEC industry are not alone. Finding our collective voice doesn't rest on just one individual; it is a group activity. Find — or create — your support system. ➡️ Our industry is improved when we help each other — especially those who are systemically overlooked or underestimated. If you are further ahead in your career, make sure you are creating space for these individuals to thrive. ➡️ In a world that often tells women we should wait for our turn, don't be afraid to ask "Why not me?" and “Why not now?” Find others who can echo your worth in the rooms you are not in yet. Rachel, based in our San Antonio office, co-presented “Using the Three Sisters System to Win Bigger, Better Projects” with Janki DePalma, FSMPS, CPSM, LEED AP of W.E. O'Neil Construction. Inspired by the “Three Sisters” crop planting method — where corn, beans, and squash grow together for maximum yield — they shared how integrating marketing, business development, and client care can lead to extraordinary outcomes. ”The camaraderie and opportunity to connect with women leaders in architecture were high points of the conference,” said Rachel. “Attendees left inspired and equipped with new insights and connections to further their careers and advocate for equity in architecture.” #AIAWLS #AIA #Architecture #WomenInArchitecture The American Institute of Architects (AIA)

We’re thrilled to share that Evelyn M. Anderson Hall at Carleton College in Minnesota has been recognized with a 2024 I2SL: International Institute for Sustainable Laboratories Award for Excellence in Decarbonization and Building Reuse! Carleton’s journey exemplifies the importance of holistic planning, sustainable collaboration, and stakeholder engagement in achieving sustainable expansion. Page Lead Academic Planner Melissa Burns and Building Performance Director Justin Shultz presented the project during the I2SL Annual Conference held in St. Louis. They shared how Carleton’s existing three science buildings challenged the college’s projected space needs and tight energy budget mandated by infrastructure and utility capacities. Anderson Hall, completed in 2020, was constructed in the footprint of a demolished building and attached to the envelopes and structural members of two existing buildings that were renovated to create an integrated complex. Even with a 33 percent increase in total square footage, the building’s energy-efficient measures decreased overall energy consumption from 40 million British Thermal Units (BTU) in the original building to 23.5 million BTU in the new design, a 41 percent reduction. Leading by example, Carleton College proves that institutions can successfully navigate the complexities of infrastructure limitations and energy efficiency mandates to realize carbon neutrality goals while still fostering campus growth and innovation. Our thanks, and congratulations, to Carleton College for their vision and to our partners for their contributions. It is an honor to be a part of this collaborative and forward-thinking team! #PerformanceBasedDesign #LabDesign #BuildingReuse #Sustainability #AcademicDesign #Architecture

From enhancing spatial awareness and visual capabilities to supporting visual and ASL conversations, Page has collaborated on numerous projects with Gallaudet University, a leader in education for deaf and hard-of-hearing students, integrating research-backed solutions to improve the student experience.

At Page, we understand that designing for healthcare requires more than just meeting clinical needs—it’s about creating high-performance environments that foster healing, resilience, and efficiency. Our work on the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Arthur M. Blank Hospital, the Intermountain Health Primary Children’s Hospital Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Campus, and the Texas Children's Hospital North Austin Campus demonstrates this balance – coast to coast.   These projects aren't just state-of-the-art pediatric hospitals; they're also examples of performance-driven architecture designed to support advanced medical care, integrate sustainable practices, and enhance patient outcomes. From energy-efficient systems to flexible, adaptable spaces for evolving healthcare technologies, each hospital exemplifies our commitment to combining innovation and compassion.   Learn more about how we’re reshaping pediatric healthcare in our latest blog: https://lnkd.in/eKUMkfNP

"I live for the planning process that shapes healing environments. It is a privilege to collaborate with users – the nurses, administrators, physicians, and other staff – and work with them to create spaces tailored to their needs while keeping the patient’s experience in mind. What I enjoy most is that everyone has a voice. A team comes together with one goal in mind: to form spaces that cater to the care of human beings. "As a healthcare planner, we prioritize every step of the patient’s journey, from arrival to discharge. We focus on streamlining patient flow and enhancing accessibility and wayfinding. For staff, we design spaces that optimize adjacencies for their everyday workflows. Every step matters. Every detail matters. "The planning and thought process becomes so deliberate in generating optimal facility layouts. Capturing diverse opinions leads to multiple iterations in design. Witnessing a project evolve into its final form is what I find most inspiring." — Page Project Healthcare Planner Jessica Valdez #CuratingCare #HealthcarePlanner #HospitalDesign #Architecture #DesignMoments 📸: @joe-aker @samuel-forrest @robert-benson

Every day, in small towns in rural settings to big cities in major urban areas, across the country and abroad, Page is focused on helping healthcare providers, hospitals, and clinics serve the urgent needs of their communities. Through design that comforts patients and makes environments easier and safer for doctors and staff to provide medical care, our design approach is to create settings that not only support high performance, but that resonate emotionally with patients and medical staff alike. For example, Page designed the recently opened Nexus Health medical office building in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where we incorporated a sophisticated color palette, maximized glass, and took advantage of the hilly site. We emphasized an interior design that reflects the local community by inviting the outdoors in with warm wood tones and a color story that recalls the ombre effect of a shifting sun. Page architecture and interiors teams incorporated contemporary lines and clear wayfinding features to guide patients through their path toward healing. The color palettes of each floor in the building depict sun’s journey from night to day – moving from blue on the first floor medical oncology unit, progressing through purple tones on the next floor and rising to a dawn-inspired blush signifying a new day for the patients receiving healing treatments on the top floor. Furniture, art, colors, and forms throughout the interior support the story of a journey from darkness to light, illness to healing. During the ribbon cutting Nexus Health President Scott Herbert, MD, MBA commented on the new facility: “In a healthcare system where the U.S. spent 17% of its GDP last year, this is only the beginning of addressing challenges like inconsistent care and physician availability; this new facility serving South Santa Fe is a key location in this effort.” We’re honored to be a part of Nexus Health’s vision for healthcare in the United States.
