Health + Science
For more than 50 years, SOM has created innovative solutions for Health and Science clients. Our diverse practice ranges from large-scale campus master plans to individual projects for academic medical centers, research institutions and universities.
The design of academic, healthcare and research environments demands a detailed understanding of current practice and technology, as well as the ability to explore new solutions. SOM’s Health + Science environments exemplify innovative planning concepts, integrated technologies, state of the art equipment and flexible systems that adapt to future changes. This combination of attributes, informed by an understanding of the issues facing healthcare and research institutions, ensures the creation of environments that are humane, uplifting, and highly functional, while promoting greater opportunities for interaction and collaboration.
SOM’s unique depth of experience in many building types and disciplines provides the ideal combination of expertise and innovation in planning, design, technology and building systems. We create buildings that are highly functional and program driven. They create a distinct identity in promoting our clients’ institutional missions, while in parallel achieving the highest standards of design excellence expected of all SOM projects.
SOM specialists include healthcare specialists and architectural, interior and graphic designers who are also knowledgeable in commercial, hospitality, retail and education design. The diversity of SOM’s design work and our multi-disciplinary approach enables our teams to find unique solutions to each project’s design challenges, while staying ahead of new healthcare and research initiatives and evolving technologies. Through our varied architectural experience, we bring extensive knowledge to each project on issues such as scale, detail, program, complexity, sustainability, and the integration of interior and exterior environments.
