Can strategic planning and innovative design transform constrained spaces into high-performing, world-class healthcare environments?

In a virtual, on-demand CEU session for NeoCon 2025, UW Health and Flad discuss how they turned a compact, underutilized hospital space into a high-impact home for the renowned Pleasant T. Rowland Transplant Clinic. By repurposing 16,000 square feet of space, consolidating services, enhancing patient experiences, and fostering operational efficiency, this project demonstrates the power of thoughtful design and planning.

The presentation highlights a data-driven, collaborative process that integrates phased planning and aligns stakeholder priorities with strategic goals to create flexible spaces that adapt to growth, integrate technology, and optimize resources. Attendees will gain practical, inspiring insights into how robust data gathering and analytical tools, combined with nimble planning, can align spaces with evolving needs while unlocking opportunities for future innovation.
