O wners , D evelopers & M anagers Featured Project: Penn Medicine’s New Workplace of the Future NK Architects is shaping the future of patient-centered care
W e Are Healthcare Architects: NK Architects is an award-winning, full-ser- vice healthcare design firm, seamlessly blending expertise with empathy. Prioritizing patient-centered design and the input of end-users, our commitment extends beyond renderings and building mate- rials; we design environments that nurture healing, vitality, and innovation. With an understanding that the built healthcare environ- ment must be predicated on a wide variety of factors, we
consider our clients’ strategic and operational goals before design development, which can be informed by intelligence drawn from demographic and competitive analyses, staff- ing and productivity studies, emerging technologies, and capital solutions. This integrat- ed approach ensures that our work not only improves patient outcomes, staff satisfaction, and operational efficiency but accommodates flexibility and adaptability for future growth. Our team of architects, inte- rior designers, planners, and engineers bring unparalleled
levels of insight to the table through their national per- spective on healthcare issues and ability to navigate local financial and operational con - cerns, enabling NK to serve as a dedicated advocate through the planning, design, and con- struction phases of our client’s respective projects. From labor and delivery suites to hospice centers, our expansive healthcare portfolio spans the spectrum of human life. NK has a breadth of expe- rience in the adaptive reuse, remodeling, and new construc- tion of emergency departments, neo-natal and operating suites, and ambulatory, cancer, cardio- vascular, psychiatric, rehabili- tation and senior care centers. As one of the leading health- care design firms in the New Jersey, New York, and Phila- delphia region, NK Architects sets the standard for excel- lence, crafting environments that strengthen the fabric of a community—its people—to support those who are navi- gating and working within the healthcare system. Latest Projects: St Luke’s University Hospi- tal Network, Mother & Babies Pavilion, Allentown, PA The five-story, 99,000 s/f expansion and renovation of St. Luke’s Mother and Babies Pavilion doubles the facility’s delivery capacity to 2,200 births annu- ally and upgrades the NICU to a level 3 program. Increas- ing the capacity of the OB program presented challenges including limited space, adja- cency concerns, and patient/ staff circulation. A master plan study guided the vertically oriented program layout, successfully address- ing project challenges, while increasing the number of medi- cal/surgical beds available and expanding same day surgery services in the hospital. Penn Medicine, 150 Monu- ment Rd., Bala Cynwyd, PA Prototyping a more flexible, value-driven approach to the healthcare workplace, Penn Medicine’s first “Workplace of the Future” spans two floors of the 150 Monument Rd. building. The hub-and-spoke work- place model is a new standard for Penn Medicine, drawing on trends in coworking and remote work to decant non-clinical staff and free up hospital space for revenue generating healthcare continued on page 18A
