A Passion for Behavioral Health
Creating hopeful places where people heal.
Page’s Behavioral Health design team is passionate about finding innovative ways to support the critical mission of Behavioral Health providers and the patients they serve. Page’s award-winning 60-plus person team specializes exclusively in a variety of Mental and Behavioral project types across the continuum of care from large secure inpatient facilities to integrated and outpatient facilities to stand-along crisis care clinics. For decades, this multi-disciplinary team has been working closely with a network of the nation’s leading clinicians and hospital leadership, and has been speaking, writing, researching as well as design. The team believe strongly in conveying values and destigmatization through architecture, the gentle integration of security, maximizing opportunities for light and biophilic design, and designing facilities as a tool that supports therapy, recovery, stress reduction, and patient and staff wellness.
Deep Behavioral Health Expertise and Experience: For decades Page has programmed and designed a wide variety of Behavioral Health Facilities across the continuum of care. Virginia’s Central State Hospital, Missouri’s Nixon Forensic Center at Fulton State Hospital, DC’s St Elizabeth’s Hospital, and the Austin State Hospital, and many others are significant examples of new state-of-the-art inpatient facilities. In addition, this experience informs the design of behavioral health crisis centers, substance abuse centers, and outpatient facilities. See the full project list in this brochure.
Innovative Trauma-Informed Design: Developing planning innovations to support the therapeutic mission of providers is a key passion of the Page team. The Nixon Center has been called “the most advanced psychiatric hospital in the country” and was recently awarded the Touchstone Gold Award for the integration of Behavioral health Research and Evidence-Based design. Page’s development of programming and planning innovations for some clients such as “Program Communities” and paired “snowflake” living units are new paradigms in behavioral health design, and have received rave reviews from hospital leadership and clinicians.
“Today’s best Behavioral Health Hospital provide an outlet for patients and staff to relax. Design responses targeted specifically to Behavioral Health remove environmental clutter and provide natural, homelike and soothing environments that lend themselves to lowered anxiety, and promote peaceful and mental preparation for therapy and recovery.”

Our team has extensive experience in all types of environments within the care continuum and we understand the importance of a therapeutic milieu and its efforts on an individual’s treatment and overall well-being. Understanding the nuances for Behavioral and Mental Health care delivery in conjunction with leading edge research and new diagnostic and treatment technology, we work closely with clients to develop unique design solutions, tailoring care environments to the population mix being served.
Treating the Whole Person
in five adults has experienced a mental-health issue 20%
Half of all mental-health disorders first show up before the person turns 14
Three-quarters of mental-health disorders begin before 24. But less than 20% receive treatment 1:20
“Behavioral Health holds a special place in my heart. Not only do I myself fall into the 1 in 5 diagnosed with a mental health disorder, but I am a mother, a wife, a family member and an advocate for others affected. I believe strongly that the design of our buildings can both positively and sometimes negatively affect our healing journey and those afflicted with behavioral health issues are extremely sensitive to their environments. I consider it an honor and a privilege to create healing and therapeutic buildings to positively impact people’s lives.”

Evidence Based Design Process
As specialists in the design of recovery-based Mental Health environments, research and thought leadership are integral to the work of the Page Behavioral Health team. Rigorous processes are implemented to ensure the latest research is referenced and reviewed with clients. Page leverages this literature and the results from our empirical, in-house design research to inform design solutions based on the project’s mission, vision, and guiding principles.
The Page team includes Healthcare Research Director Laurie Waggener, who leads the team in pre- and post-occupancy Behavioral Health data gathering that further informs the use of outcome-based research in project designs. Highlighting this successful approach, the Nixon Forensic Center was recently awarded the Touchstone Gold Award from The Center for Health Design for exemplary use of an evidence-based design (EBD) process in the built environment that demonstrated exceptional achievements across the three touchstones of the EBD process. Nixon has been called “the most advanced psychiatric hospital in the country.”

Page’s post-occupancy review process measures quantifiable benefits to patients and staff in multiple ways, such as physical differences like acoustics, natural light, and safety. In addition, we gather empirically reported results from hospital leadership. The following is a list of some of the outcomes that have been described to us by hospital leadership one year (or more) after occupancy of the new facilities:
§ Increased staff morale
§ Reduced incidences of aggressive behavior
§ Decreased use of seclusion and restraint
§ Increased levels of resident activity
§ Expanded traditional treatment programs
§ Added evening, night and weekend programs
§ Improved operational flexibility
§ Expanded social and educational opportunities
§ Increased positive staff / resident interaction
§ Raised community involvement and interaction
Human Purposed Integrated Design
Creating hopeful places where people heal.
We have a singular goal for every project. Create a place where every patient walks in the door and says, “I think I can get better here.”
Design for behavioral health facilities is primarily driven by two factors: (1) creating an operationally efficient, healing environment, and (2) patient and staff safety.
Modern Healthcare facilities are complex organisms that perform best when designed as integrated systems like the human body and nature. Our approach considers each system and element or layer as part of the whole. In doing so we have found success in creating environments that perform better for people, organizational needs, use less energy and are long term better investments for our clients.
There are many evidence-based design features that enhance behavioral health outcomes, promote recovery, and increase staff and patient satisfaction. These include daylight, access to courtyards, circadian lighting, thermal and acoustical comfort, biophilic design, multi-sensory and restorative spaces, safe easily observed layouts, open nursing stations, safe ligature-resistant materials and products, and amenities promoting decompression, exercise, and nutrition.
“Follow-up studies show the redesigning behavioral health facilities in more therapeutic way decreases lengths of stay and reduces aggression and injuries. Design has everything to do with lowering these numbers and increasing safety. It’s well worth Investment.“

Human Purposed Integrated Design
We design and deliver beautiful, integrated environments to inspire change and enhance the human condition.
RESIST RE-TRAUMATIZATION
CONNECTION
Plan for varying levels of social density. Give individuals the choice to engage or disengage. Respect boundaries.
EQUITY & INCLUSION
Being aware of how an individual’s culture affects how they perceive trauma, safety, and privacy. Provide adequate and equal access for those with physical or developmental disabilities.
SAFETY
Protect individuals and staff. Provide visible security, and well-lit public and exterior spaces.
The first priority is to create supportive environments that resist re-traumatization. People experiencing trauma can be hyper aware and/ or hyper sensitive to their surroundings.
WHOLISTIC
Consider the whole health of individuals. Provide a welcoming environment with access and views to nature.
TRUST
Involve end users in the decision-making process. Consistent, open, respectful and compassionate communication. Prioritize privacy and confidentiality.
CHOICE
Empower individuals to make their own choices & have as much control of their environment as is safely possible.
RESILIENCE & RECOVERY
Trauma-Informed Spaces
A trauma-informed approach acknowledges the need to understand an individual’s life experiences in order to deliver effective services and has the potential to improve engagement, treatment / program adherence, health outcomes, and staff wellness.
Guiding Principles
A set of guidelines is emerging around the following categories: safety, trustworthiness and transparency, peer support, collaboration and mutuality, empowerment and choice, as well as cultural, historical and gender issues. Page has been developing a set of best practices, based on available research and project experience. Each guiding principle is comprised of a set of considerations or recommendations with the ultimate goal of providing a supportive physical environment in which all individuals can thrive. Each of these principles is described in the graphic to the right.
Case Study
Fulton State Hospital Nixon Forensic Center Fulton, Missouri
Fulton State Hospital is the oldest mental health facility west of the Mississippi River. To build on their legacy, improve quality of care, and meet today’s safety standards, the Hospital engaged Page to transform their campus through a multi-phased design of a 300-bed, 450,000-squarefoot facility.
The new Nixon Center is a modern forensic mental hospital that not only provides expanded treatment opportunities, but is significantly safer for patients and staff, promotes wellness and healing, and is conducive to modern treatment. How did the team resolve contradictory goals of creating a therapeutic, recovery-based environment while providing effective security for all? We reinvented the standard floor plan for psychiatric hospitals.
Page worked with hospital clinicians to develop a new patient treatment space for daytime actives. Dubbed the “Program Communities,” this collection of commons and counseling rooms serves as a middle-ground option between the 25-patient Living Units and the 100+ patient Treatment Mall. This “three-tier” organization of psychiatric patient space is the first of its type constructed in the world and is becoming a trend in behavioral health hospital design.
Spaces are also positioned for passive observation by providing clear sight lines through patient areas and to critical doors, allowing for monitoring of historically problematic areas such as dining rooms and toilet room doors. Living units are located back-to-back adding efficiency to hospital operations while providing a second means for staff security to travel quickly to each unit and extensive natural daylight, access and views to outdoor spaces and nature, innovative materials, and biophilic principles are featured, improving the quality of users’ lives and promoting seamless integration between safety and effective therapy.
The facility features bright windows, a welcoming “front porch” for social events and a central lawn providing a park-like atmosphere with walking paths for the surrounding community to enjoy.
§ 12 distinct living areas / 4 unique program communities
§ 3 levels of activity and security according to patient needs
§ Communities share the Hope Center – a town square-like mall

The Commonwealth of Virginia is committed to providing safe, effective, efficient, economically responsible, high quality behavioral healthcare for its citizens. Because its existing facilities at Central State Hospital are dated, spread across multiple buildings, and do not support recovery-based treatment, the Commonwealth determined that a new hospital was required.
Encompassing 471,000 Gross Square Feet, the new facility will provide a total of 252 in-patient beds, including 111 maximum security and 141 civil beds. The project includes patient treatment/ program areas, a pharmacy, clinic, and administrative and support services space. The new facility will have delineated treatment areas for maximum security and civil patients, as well as secure enclosed courtyards for outdoor recreation of those committed for care. The design makes special provisions for virus spread mitigation and will anticipate the future construction of a future 48-bed addition, to total 300 beds. The facility features bright windows, a welcoming “front porch” for social events and a central lawn providing a park-like atmosphere with walking paths for the surrounding community to enjoy.

Master Planning / Site Analysis / Interiors / Planning / Programming / Architecture / Graphics & Signage / Fire Protection
In 2018 Page in conjunction with architecture+ authored a Master Plan that described a concept to replace the Austin State Hospital (ASH) and commercially develop portions of the hospital campus. The master plan serves to codify the mission statement and goals for a comprehensive State of Texas Brain Health System supported by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), University of Texas Dell Medical School (UTDMS), and the Austin State Hospital (ASH). These guiding principles include providing safe, therapeutic, welcoming, and normative environments for people receiving care, as well as a safe and engaging environment for staff that contributes to reducing the stigma associated with mental illness and allows people to receive treatment with dignity.
A new replacement hospital will consolidate services into one key building to improve operational efficiency and form a more public and dignified presence of the hospital in the urban neighborhood. The team identified research-based, best-practice principles in order to develop the space programming and physical modeling used to establish the master plan. This means implementing biophilic practices, choosing people-centered care as opposed to control-focused care, and creating a healing space while adopting the needed safety and security factors to drastically improve the quality of life, patient outcomes and staff productivity. Partnerships with community providers will be sought to fill in service line gaps and provide the appropriate level of care in the right place. This vision also extends to the philosophy of the campus as a whole. Rather than a traditional state facility that is inwardly focused with a hard perimeter, the new Master Plan is more permeable to allow the campus to be knit into the fabric of the surrounding neighborhood. Shared amenities and recreation spaces are planned along the perimeter. This approach will communicate a change in mentality about Brain health, reinforcing that it truly affects us all. These trends have led to the idea of creating brain health facilities that resemble communities rather than institutions. They are a collection of spaces that replicate a real-life environment in which people will live after treatment, making the inside represent the community outside. Design centered around these communities helps to promote interaction among patients, staff, visitors, and family members, keeping individual wards from becoming isolated. Fewer places of confinement and more places of treatment and preparation for return to the outside world is imperative. The new hospital, also designed by the Page/ architecture+ team, is organized in a House-Neighborhood-Downtown model for brain health facilities with the creation of smaller cluster-based inpatient treatment settings within larger inpatient units. In this model the “house” refers to the inpatient bed, the “neighborhood” to the unit of typically 24 inpatient beds, and the “downtown” to the shared services and amenities for all units in the facility. The master plan also addresses the entire care continuum, providing a long-term vision for the build-out of the campus to create the full continuum of services necessary for the future of brain health in Austin and the surrounding served communities.

Page began the Campus Master Plan in 1980 to offer a comprehensive range of Larimer County Behavioral Health Facility is a collaboration between Larimer County, the City of Fort Collins Colorado, UC Health and SummitStone Partners in an effort to change the paradigm of behavioral health within their community. The County began with a community assessment, with input from their partners and the Larimer County Criminal Justice Services to redesign the way individuals with mental and behavioral health needs seek treatment. Page was hired to complete a high level master plan, detailed programming and design for the new facility.
The new LCBH facility will be located on 30+ acres of open space, allowing for inspiring yet comforting views of the Front Range and will enable campus growth for additional treatment, supportive housing and community functions. It will serve the immediate need for substance abuse withdrawal services, crisis care and short term residential beds within the new 56,000 sf facility. Patients seeking care will be brought directly to the new center by walk-in, law enforcement or first responders through newly redesigned decision tree protocol. All patients will visit the behavioral health triage hub, where they will undergo an extensive medical and behavioral health assessment to determine the right level of care and setting for that individual. Once the assessment has been completed, patients will have access to a Care Coordination team to assist with community placement, the new 16 bed Social Detox, Medical Detox, Crisis Stabilization or short-term Intensive Residential units or the 23-hour Observation area. The new facility will also house a retail pharmacy, lab and administration to provide coordinated patientcentric care.
The design of the new building embraces the natural surroundings, with a direct view to a large outdoor area and Horsetooth Reservoir. Warm, rich materials create a soothing and therapeutic environment both inside and out. Ample indoor and outdoor activity and treatment spaces for games, art, yoga, gardening and fitness are located throughout and are flooded with natural light. The new facility will truly be a place of wellness and healing for the Larimer County community.
Case Study
StarCare Behavioral Health Hospital and Diversion Center Lubbock, Texas
StarCare Specialty Health System (StarCare) is committed to provide access to the best behavioral health services to the community. It is also the State designated Local Authority for mental health, intellectual disabilities and substance use disorders.
StarCare Sunrise Canyon’s existing behavioral health facilities limit their ability to deliver patient and family care consistent with their long-term vision. Standards and modalities of care, patient demographics, demand for services continue to evolve.
This Design Development Submission is provided to document the Program Verification and design development efforts for a new 60-bed Hospital facility with a connected Crisis Center (Hope Center).
This new inpatient Hospital will serve to provide therapeutic spaces, increase the number of patients served, provide an intensive treatment sub-unit, and provide staff with adequate space to better deliver their high quality of care. This facility responds to StarCare’s desire to provide high quality, flexible, efficient, and effective behavioral healthcare, that responds to current needs and plans for future environment for behavioral health services.
The HOPE Center for Health and Wellbeing will be a Diversion Center Model pf Care to help people experiencing mental health distress avoid emergency rooms, jails, and inpatient hospitals when clinically appropriate, using crisis evaluation services, 23-hour extended observation, and community partner resources.
The Diversion Center (“Hope Center”) is a joint project bu the West Texas Health Partnership, an organization that is comprised of government, healthcare, and higher education entities. This group will be engaged in all phases of this project. Initial programming and cost analysis indicated that the current budget might support approximately 10,000-gross square feet for this portion of the building.
The Diversion Center was envisioned as a beacon of hope, and is strategically located on the northwest side of the hospital building as a focal point for the campus, ensuring its viability from Aspen Avenue. Over the course of the schematic design meetings with users, multiple design massing concepts and floor plan layouts for this building were reviewed and refined.
