Providing a comfortable & cheerful environment for young patients at UNMH

Ideally, the terms 'pediatric' and 'hospital' would never need to coexist. Yet unfortunately, they must, and the mission of this project was to transform the University of New Mexico's Pediatric Care Center into a vibrant, welcoming place for children and their families who utilize its services.

By using prefab interiors, vivid wall graphics, and interactive surfaces, this once clinical environment gave way to an atmosphere that exudes positivity and comfort, catering to the well-being of both children and their caregivers. The whimsical drawings were specifically designed to calm children waiting for their appointments, starting in the lobby and continuing all the way through to the exam rooms.

A recent study found that 89% of fighter pilots reported physical pain that had a significant impact on their flight mission, while 63% of these pilots reported pulling early out of turns because of this pain.

Maximizing the lethality, performance, and longevity of these pilots requires a health program that incorporates cognitive performance, emotional resiliency, strength & conditioning, performance nutrition, and physical therapy. That's why it was such a privilege to take part in health and human performance innovation for the 309th Fighter Squadron at Luke Air Force Base.

The squadron’s TITAN (Tactical Integrated Training and Nutrition) Arena houses the 56th FW Human Performance Team which supports holistic performance improvement across physical and psychological domains to 210 Luke AFB fighter pilots. The renovations include 14,150 square feet of nutrition and exercise space including a complete indoor workout space, a nutrition center, office spaces, a PT center, and locker/bathrooms.
