Main Line Health Broomall

With a goal to transform a series of separate collocated practices into a unified model that embodies the Main Line Health brand, Stantec worked collaboratively to carve out a two-story lobby flanked by multi-specialty practice space with a flexible exam module.  The resulting design concept established the light-filled lobby as the first point of arrival that supports quality patient care and an improved patient experience.

Nature provides inspiration for a layered design, guiding the vision of “Designing a pathway to wellness.” The revitalized space features a dynamic lobby reinforcing Main Line Health’s long presence in the community. Connecting the two levels is a new skylight with a monumental stair and an adjacent feature wall. We drew inspiration from strong, bright beams of light penetrating a canopy of trees, as well as warm light cascading through the undulating surfaces of a canyon.

The light-filled concourse adopts a hospitality feel to create a welcoming first stop for patients and families. The play of filtered light from above highlights points of entry that reinforce wayfinding and encourage the use of the daylit stair, connecting people and places.

Recalling the notion of a park, we sought to create a place that supports interaction while balancing privacy. Each entrance is paired with an information desk and care team partner to direct those arriving for appointments to check in at central registration. The patient-friendly facility allows patients to break out of the typical waiting room, relax while enjoying their surroundings, and focus on their wellness.

Supporting The Connection Between Facility Design And Outcomes

“This is an exciting time for our industry. We might be facing some of our most demanding challenges, but we are also in a time of unprecedented growth in the construction of new building projects and of building renovations and remodels.” These were the opening words when I penned my first column 22 years ago for the newly launched Healthcare Design magazine. They are as relevant today as they were more than two decades ago. At that time, current spending on healthcare construction was $17 billion a year and was expected to increase to $27 billion annually in the next decade. This year, according to a report from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, healthcare construction spending is estimated to reach more than $62 billion and continue to increase over the next five years. Increasing demand for healthcare services and an aging population will continue to drive new construction for the foreseeable future, especially for new outpatient clinics. At the same time, the added financ
