Nationwide Children’s Hospital

The $310 million facility includes 300 individual beds, an expanded Emergency Department, an outpatient surgery center, radiology and laboratory services, administrative offices and comprehensive support spaces. By uniting departments that were once fragmented, the new layout streamlines the patient and family experience while strengthening staff workflows—reducing travel time between offices, improving communication among teams and enabling more coordinated, efficient delivery of care.

Our Healthcare practice team played a vital role in realizing this vision, leading the design of the hospital’s two-floor, 10,600 sq. ft. hematology and oncology clinic.

To guarantee the space would truly support medical professionals and patients, we created full-scale mock-ups that allowed clinicians to walk through rooms, test floor plans and refine workflows in real-time before construction began. This hands-on process not only accelerated design but also empowered providers to shape critical details, from outlet placement to equipment integration, resulting in a clinic that is both highly functional and genuinely people focused.

Moreover, we delivered construction administration and local project leadership. Serving as the owner’s on-site representatives, we managed weekly meetings, site observations, field reports, RFIs and submittals—ensuring swift responses to questions and maintaining the integrity of the design mission throughout. Phased construction allowed staff to transition gradually from old spaces to new ones, upholding continuous operations and preventing any disruption to patient care.

The outcome is more than a building: a contemporary hospital that replaces disparate facilities with a single campus to increase capacity, enhance access and elevate quality of treatment for children and families across the region.
