Health Care, Planning 
Client: Caritas Christi Health Care
Role: Planning
Status: Completed
Fact: The planning exercise set a process for rolling out design standards across the client's campuses which serve 55 communities in New England
map-lab was retained by Silverman Trykowski Associates (STA) to develop a comprehensive study for the Caritas Christi Health Care (CCHC) organization. Using the design standards established by STA at the Caritas St. Elizabeth’s hospital, map-lab set forth a process of identifying and prioritizing projects at each of the six hospitals in order to unify the overall visual identity of CCHC.
STA and map-lab visited each campus to review the existing conditions and evaluate the “curb appeal”, wayfinding, and overall images of the hospital, which helped map-lab define projects that would create a warm and healing environment. Budgets were created for each project, grouped together by campus, and presented to each hospital director. map-lab and STA then presented a comprehensive report to CCHC identifying each project for each particular campus, which enabled the organization to plan for these projects in its multiple capital budgets.
