HEALTHCARE
PENN MEDICINE MEDICAL INFUSION CENTER
Healthcare design is vital to patient well-being. The settings in which care is received can impact stress levels, recovery times, and overall patient satisfaction. Additionally, a well-designed healthcare environment can help to ensure privacy is maintained and efficient workflows are supported. When Penn Medicine sought to expand its Infusion Center into an adjacent space, they turned to TONO Architects to rethink and implement new design standards for the facility. TONO had recently completed a similar project for a practice located on the medical campus. This experience combined with our expertise in integrated project delivery processes made us the ideal partner.

OUR APPROACH
TONO led all aspects of architectural development, project management, and interior design while working closely with leadership at Penn Medicine to ensure the design was cohesive and strategically implemented within the broader corporate standards. The project was planned to be executed over two phases with patient care continuing during construction. Now complete, phase one of the project spans 5,600 square feet. Led by Sharlee Van Tine, AIA, LEED AP, TONO tactfully designed the center focusing on the patient experience and the connection of each bay to the nurses’ station.
OUTCOME
A soothing palette of cool blues and grays was complemented by accents of rich, reclaimed wood paneling establishing a sense of calm throughout the space. Each infusion bay operates as an independent pod providing patients with privacy while streamlining staff access to equipment and supplies. With the infusion bays arranged around the outer perimeter of the room, the nurses’ station is positioned at the center to maximize patient visibility and allow staff to provide continuous care throughout the procedure. The interior design materials were carried throughout the practice from the reception area and into all treatment spaces, ensuring a seamless patient experience from the time of arrival.
