The Healthcare Group at MSKTD was uniquely positioned to lead the design of this important and exciting project. Our detailed understanding of the IU Health North Hospital and how staff, physicians, clinicians, patients and guests utilize the campus enabled us to work with all stakeholders and ultimately led to an efficient and unified design.
