Our office space is a living, breathing and growing organism. The space we designed will create a positive mind and body for all of the workers in the PurFoods company as well as any individual visiting the facility. We focused a lot of our design intentions towards creating an efficent, highly collaborative and easily changing enviornment that suits the needs of the quickly expanding PurFoods company that is based in central Iowa. Working with the Herman Miller furniture company, we were able to utilize their office furniture systems to create an efficent work space as well as designing extra immenities that will enhance the lives of the har working staff of the company.

Our comprehensive cancer center is based around the concept of flow; the importance of connections and ease of access which has influenced our overall building design. By creating and reinforcing important connections that benefit the patient, the caregiver, visitors of the facility and the surrounding University of Nebraska Medical Center campus we have created a highly efficient environment that promotes wellness and positivity. The whole complex is surrounded by open green space that creates a $calming and therapeutic atmosphere by using the proven evidence based healing strategy of nature as a distraction. This will provide a space for walking and relaxing for both patients and family members. The building is positioned to open up views to the green space below and allow the flow of natural light to be a key design feature of our facility and to benefit the patient and the workers as much as possible. Our cancer center will provide all of the amenities and care giving needs that a patient would ever desire, but it will also be an environment that is welcoming, calming and easy to navigate.
