Academic Medicine
Implementing capital strategies on academic medical center campuses requires a specialized understanding of clinical delivery futures, translational research, and an understanding of the changing pedagogy of medical education. As one of the leading firms in design for higher education, research and healthcare, Cannon Design draws upon a fully integrated understanding of these disciplines to create highly successful, world-class academic medical centers.
Our reputation speaks for itself. Cannon Design has been engaged by leading medical centers throughout North America, as well as prestigious institutions worldwide to solve their most challenging problems. Our high rate of repeat commissions from these complex clients is an indication of the value that we add, enhancing their missions.
Community Hospitals
Whether rural, suburban, or urban, community hospitals face a host of fiscal pressures as well as a range of obligations to their constituents. In planning and designing community hospitals, Cannon Design partners with our clients to explore opportunities for streamlining the patient-care process—achieving design solutions that manifest expressed goals and aspirations.
With a broad understanding of the variety of service lines and departments offered in the community hospital, we undertake state-of-the-art planning and design to enhance the patient, staff and physician experience and facilitate the delivery of family-focused care that addresses each community’s unique profile.
Ambulatory Care
As more and more medical treatments are offered in ambulatory, rather than inpatient, settings, Cannon Design has been developing thoughtful designs that create flexible, adaptable and efficient environments—creating the optimum experience for patients, families and staff. Our engagements range from the development of ambulatory care market capture strategies to the creation of cutting edge multidisciplinary ambulatory care centers, medical and professional office buildings, and surgery and diagnostic centers. Our experience also includes unique centers for translational medicine that transition smoothly between clinical and research settings.
Cannon Design’s research and benchmarking capabilities for ambulatory environments offer academic medical centers, healthcare systems, physician groups, and private or public entities the assurance that they are maximizing their opportunities in the most efficient and effective way. We implement best practices drawn from the latest knowledge around the globe, including advances in medical and information technology, universal room design, and multidisciplinary team-based delivery. Our environments are created around, not today’s, but the imagined future.
Women & Children's
Cannon Design is a leader in design of facilities for women and pediatrics with a focus on family-centered care. We have planned and designed facilities from free-standing replacement women’s and children’s hospitals to transplant centers for pediatric cancer patients. Our healthcare team includes pediatric clinicians who work closely with our medical planners and project designers to assure that all aspects of the environments’ operational needs are met.
With our significant depth of experience, we understand the medical issues and customer expectations unique to both women’s and pediatric health centers. Within the last five years, we have planned and designed 2,310 beds, representing over 5.4M square feet of new facilities dedicated to pediatric and women’s care. We draw upon this extensive experience and knowledge of best practices to create environments for healing that optimally satisfy our clients’ project goals and needs.
Behavioral Healthcare
According to the World Health Organization and the National Institute of Mental Health, one in four people will suffer from mental illness at some point in their lives. However, despite the widespread nature of mental illness and the proven effectiveness of modern treatments, the majority of behavioral health facilities are outdated and inadequate to support today’s care regimens.
At Cannon Design, we believe that sensitively designed facilities positively impact patient outcomes. Over the past decade, we have remained at the forefront of behavioral healthcare facility planning and design, responsible for more major behavioral healthcare facilities than any other firm. Our work has encompassed a spectrum of care modalities, ranging from community-based establishments to major tertiary-care behavioral complexes.
Cardiovascular
Designing facilities for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease – the leading cause of death in the United States – requires a rigorous understanding of present and future diagnostic and therapeutic modalities as well as a firm footing in the business and future of the field of cardiology.
Cannon Design brings a depth of understanding of this building type that is founded on years of practice and research. With a portfolio of cardiovascular facility design solutions ranging from private physician practices to destination ambulatory centers and freestanding heart hospitals, we understand the impact of environment on the delivery of care—creating buildings that are efficient, flexible, comfortable, and representative of our clients’ aspirations and spirit.
Cancer
Cannon Design’s experience in large-scale, complex cancer projects is unmatched by any North American firm. Our portfolio includes major work at a dozen highly rated NCI-designated centers as well as other prominent cancer facilities around the world.
Through decades of practice and research and thousands of interviews with cancer patients and healthcare providers, Cannon Design’s cancer design teams have created environments that optimize delivery of care for patients and their families throughout treatment and foster the spirit of partnership and advocacy that is essential to mental and physical healing.
Orthopedics
At the heart of successful orthopedics service design is attention to detail. Infection control, accessibility, efficiency, and knowledge of multiple diagnostic and therapeutic modalities are just a few of the dimensions designers must address in creating a successful orthopedics facility.
Whether implementing large projects for the country’s top-ranked orthopedic hospital or developing freestanding orthopedic hospitals and ambulatory facilities, Cannon Design creates environments that improve delivery of care, reassure and support patients and their families, and facilitate the complex treatment and rehabilitation regimens associated with this specialty.
Neuroscience
Neuroscience is one of the most complex and fastest growing specialties in medicine. Cannon Design’s portfolio of projects for this specialty is impressive. Our experience ranges from purely ambulatory environments and inpatient facilities to freestanding translational centers that blend patient care and research, encouraging clinicians and researchers to collaborate in multidisciplinary translational medicine.
Knowing that this patient type is typically elderly, frail and often under the care of multiple providers, special attention needs to be made to the care environment, to ensure that wayfinding systems and interior spaces accommodate these unique physical needs. Provider spaces also need to be designed to encourage collaboration and a team environment to care for these complex patients as well.
Emergency
From large urban trauma centers to community hospital emergency departments, freestanding emergency care facilities, and mass casualty treatment centers, Cannon Design implements solutions that address the unique challenges of emergency medicine, emphasizing efficient, effective, and safe delivery of care.
Through careful analysis of workload and operations, functional relationships, flow patterns, and the integration of technology, we devise emergency care environments that accommodate current and projected healthcare demand, attract and retain quality staff, and alleviate the anxiety of patients and visitors seeking emergency care.
Research
As the boundaries between research and clinical activities become more blurred, so do the environments that support these functions. Implementing capital strategies for medical research requires a specialized understanding of funding sources, clinical futures, translational opportunities, and even the changing pedagogy of medical education itself. As one of the leading firms in design for higher education, research and healthcare, Cannon Design draws upon a fully integrated understanding of all areas to create highly successful, world-class environments for medical research. The facilities we create range from freestanding basic science buildings, where the emphasis is on discovery—to computational dry research environments, with a focus on measurement—to translational and incubator facilities with a focus on application. Whatever the concentration, our environments are designed to encourage exploration and collaboration with the ultimate goal of advancing medicine.
Imaging
Imaging has surpassed its traditional function as a simple diagnostic tool. It has become a highly complex diagnostic and therapeutic environment. With ever shorter technological life cycles and ever more demanding requirements governing equipment loading, clearances, isolation, and infrastructure, imaging services can also be a prime driver of obsolescence in healthcare facilities if not carefully planned. Future generations of new equipment will continue to widen applications of these technologies. With a wealth of experience in imaging services design for academic environments, community hospitals, research, and ambulatory environments, Cannon Design remains at the forefront of this rapidly evolving field of medicine.
Long-Term Care
The increasing age of the U.S. population has resulted in a significant increase in the acuity of long-term care patients. Patients with Alzheimer’s, dementia, and complex multiple-diagnosis conditions, require a physical infrastructure that is both clinically supportive and homelike.
As a leader in the development of design for complex and long-term care, Cannon Design understands that these facilities play a crucial role in the full continuum of healthcare delivery. Going beyond mere provision of custodial care, these environments promote human bonding and enrichment opportunities, nurturing attention, emotional and physical well-being. They are among the most complex environments to design as they deal with one of the most complex issues – human dignity and life.

Citation of Merit
Behavioral Healthcare
A one-stop shop for behavioral healthcare—incorporating elements of acute treatment, crisis response, and inpatient care—the design nicely integrates interior and exterior presentation, with good separation of vehicular and internal traffic flow. The on-site courtroom works extremely well, limiting both the patient’s apprehension of being transported to and from judicial proceedings, and the overall risk factor placed upon the patients and the staff.
The contemporary style of the facility’s beautifully designed exterior is very appropriate for Arizona, as is its use of sustainable design elements, including the optimization of land with various levels, drought-resistant landscaping, and sun screens. The interior and exterior ‘fold into each other’ seamlessly, with the subtle but thorough incorporation of safety and security features throughout.

Behavioral Healthcare
A big budget psychiatric hospital project that earned a Citation of Merit was Cannon Design’s concept for the new St. Joseph Healthcare’s new, 204-bed inpatient/outpatient mental health facility in Hamilton, Ontario. This $280 million, in-process project was praised for its attractive and welcoming exterior, a design that reflects a growing trend of behavioral health facilities that boldly and proudly express their role and value in the community. Judges were impressed by its integration of natural courtyards and daylight, its arrangement of “onstage” (patient-facing) and “offstage” (service/business) corridors, and its “great swing bed zone between units,” a feature that will help the facility deal with wide swings in patient census.

“…Some great pieces of architecture are inspiring, even stirring. Occasionally they are also challenging, perplexing and just plain fun. Such is the case for patients and visitors wandering under the Center’s upper stories, or traversing one of its several multi-level glass bridges between wings. Interiors are lit with smarts and sophistication.” —Jury Comment

Elegantly ordered and proportioned, this project creates a calming, transcendental environment for healing. Public spaces are monumental while retaining their human scale. The design responds to its environment – light reflecting and building upon itself, gently illuminating the spaces within. Conveying hope and strength, this project reminded the jury of the work of Kahn and Corbusier, high praise indeed.—2012 Jury
