Firm Profile
We are a team of architects and designers with unique
backgrounds, but we all have one thing in common – we
share a strong desire to use our expertise and knowledge
to design solutions that will help people in moments that
matter most.
This focus makes us leaders in our field. We are the
highest ranking healthcare-only practice in Modern
Healthcare’s 2013 design firm rankings.
The complex, changing world of healthcare requires a
team of effective communicators and true collaborators.
Our 30 year history of being dedicated to healthcare
holds countless stories of discovering optimal solutions
with our clients.
Architecture is about relationships.Relationships with spaces, objectsand most importantly – people.
Diagnostic imaging and testing has increasingly become
one of the most important program areas within a hospital
environment. Accommodation of rapid changes in equipment
and technology can lead to costly changes in facility
construction when flexibility is not incorporated into design.
It is important to team with an architect who possesses the
depth and breadth of knowledge required for new state-of-
the-art imaging and testing facilities to minimize future costs.
Focusing exclusively on healthcare, Array has a deep bench
of specialists in tune with the latest advances in imaging
equipment.

Equipment can be daunting and stressful for patients. Proper scaling of the room, so technicians can stay close to the patient while performing their tasks, and choosing tranquil colors as accents may bring a sense of calm to patients, making the procedure less traumatic.

Except for the beds, ASCs have all the elements of a hospital. Programming one can be like solving a complex three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle. I enjoy figuring out the most efficient way to put all the elements together to achieve throughput goals.

St. John Medical Center Surgical Services Westlake, OH
As a result of St. John’s Strategic Facilities Master Plan,
completed by Array, it was determined that key Medical Center
services were in need of expansion and modernization to
support the quantitative demand and vision for the future.
Functionally, the hospital needed to increase their capacity
to serve a growing outpatient surgery service, centralize
their services for outpatients and provide a more intuitive
circulation to and within the hospital. Array worked with St.
John Medical Center and a team of consultants to develop
new additions bracketing an existing emergency department
and renovating space to provide a new entrance and services
and amenities for patients and families including convenient
parking and improved site circulation. The addition includes
a drop-off canopied entrance, lobby, patient registration, key
diagnostic and treatment services, and a bistro. The west
addition includes two new operating suites, a post anesthesia
care unit, endoscopy procedure rooms, a pediatric inpatient unit,
and a clinical decision unit for the emergency department. The
renovated area converts a shelled second floor space to an out-
patient surgery preparation and recovery unit.
Located in a suburban setting, the hospital site has rich
landscaping, open spaces, outdoor seating and dining as well
as a walking path. The new site layout preserved the better
qualities of the site amenities while simplifying pedestrian and
vehicular circulation, providing more convenient parking and
lending intuitive architectural cues for wayfinding and access.

Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children Hybrid Catheterization Lab Wilmington, DE
Ranked among the nation’s best in pediatric cardiology and
cardiac surgery by U.S. News & World Report, families from
across the country—and around the world—come to the
Nemours Cardiac Center. To meet this demand, the hospital
needed to expand its cardiac intensive care unit and wanted
to build a new hybrid operating suite, but expansion space
was extremely limited.
The new Catheterization Suite was designed as a hybrid
Bi-Plane Catheterization Lab and Support Space. The shell
space where the hybrid lab is located was planned when
Array designed the 21,000 SF NICU/CICU expansion. (Which
serves as Prep/ Recovery space for cardiac patients). The
shelled space allowed the existing Catheterization lab
to continue service while the new hybrid lab was under
construction and brought on line. The new suite is configured
so that a second Catheterization lab can be constructed with
minimal operational impact during construction.

“Hybrid Catheterization Labs can serve patients in an innovative way. Offering the ability to diagnose cardiac conditions and quickly move patients to a recommended surgical procedure is a clear benefit of these facilities. Making sure that everyone on the clinical platform is in sync with the concept is an absolute necessity.”

Capital Health Surgery Suite Pennington, NJ
The site for this suburban six-story, 570,000 SF new hospital
with an integrated 330,000 SF Medical Office Building was
constrained due to wetland restrictions. Capital Health
tasked Array with maximizing the available footprint to
support the anticipated volume of inpatient and outpatient
surgeries.
We recommended a chassis design that integrated all of the diagnostic, treatment and surgical components and provided direct adjacencies. The diagnostic and treatment support core is linear, connecting the inpatient bed tower with the outpatient services and medical office building.
This resulted in collocating all the interventional suites and positioning them on one floor. Surgical waiting was combined for inpatient and outpatient family members. An integrated pre-op/holding suite also increased throughput times. The success of the chassis design is reflected in a 26% increase in General Surgery volume and a 52% increase in Orthopedic Surgery volumes.
LEED Gold Certified – Capital Health Hopewell is one of 28 hospitals in the country to receive LEED Platinum or Gold status.
“Having a ‘blank slate’ allows us to innovate using evidence-based design, sustainable design and lean design principles. I enjoy seeing the excitement in the client’s eyes as an abstract vision becomes a comforting place of healing.”

Seidman Cancer Center Interventional Suite Cleveland, OH
As part of a system-wide Facilities Master Plan, University Hospitals engaged Array to provide programming and planning services to determine design options for a new Cancer Hospital to centralize the various cancer care components that were dispersed throughout their four-block campus in downtown Cleveland.
In order to maximize the available footprint for the new hospital and its patient rooms, we recommended that the new Cancer Hospital be sited adjacent to the existing inpatient surgical platform, which would be renovated to include an interventional platform. Demand analysis quantified the need for four additional operating suites, including an intra-operative MRI, along with a 10-position Pre / Post Recovery pod adjacent to the existing PACU dedicated to cancer patients.
Since its opening in 2011, Seidman Cancer Center has been recognized as one of the nation’s top hospitals, according to U.S. News & World Report’s annual Best Hospitals rankings. In 2012, Seidman was Ranked 18th for their cancer care.
“Our new area is warm, full of hope and offers people who want to work with very ill patients a chance to show their compassion. The hospital may be a battle ground against a deadly disease but Seidman is a piece of heaven. Staff Member, Diagnostic Imaging
