“A first-of-its-kind freestanding facility, the Neuroscience Wellness center is a beacon of resiliency and community spirit.” - Gensler San Diego’s own Brian Watson, Design Director of Neuroscience Wellness Center

We are excited to share that the OhioHealth Neuroscience Wellness Center has been selected as a recipient of a 2023 Healthcare Design Award. This national award showcases projects that solve aesthetic, civic, urban, and social concerns as well as the requisite functional and sustainability concerns associated with a healthcare setting. Congratulations to our office for this incredible recognition!

The Neuroscience Wellness Center at OhioHealth is a one-of-a-kind destination, designed to empower its community of users to take charge of their recovery process. Perched atop a ridge at the edge of a forest preserve, the center is organized around a communal “hearth” with inspiring 360-degree views of nature that can be accessed by all patients, including those with low mobility.
