These past few years of the COVID-19 pandemic have indeed tested limitations but have also shed new light on the undeniable importance of creating and maintaining safe, robust, and easy-to-maintain healthcare settings. In addition, there has been a demonstrated transition from facilities with a traditionally spare, institutional feel toward inviting healthcare settings with a focus on comfort and compassion, for patients, visitors and staff alike, providing more of a hospitality feel. Many would argue that the pandemic has potentially accelerated a move that was already in-progress to create healthcare environments that address noise, efficiency of layout, energy savings, beauty and comfort, all in the service of improved occupant health.
