Reaveley Engineers: Craig H. Neilsen Rehabilitation Hospital
Posted by Communications2 on Aug. 5, 2020 / Sponsor Spotlight / Subscribe 0
Designed for patients with disabling conditions such as amputation, paralysis, stroke, and brain injury, among others, the Craig H. Neilsen Rehabilitation Hospital transforms technology, accessibility, and aesthetics into a place of inspiration and impact.
More than a 75-bed rehab center, the hospital incorporates a GApp lab to support the design and development of assistive technologies. A mobility garage offers space for patients, doctors, and engineers to work together to design, build, and modify mobility devices to suit individual needs.
Challenged with a steeply sloped site, SMPS Utah Platinum Sponsor Reaveley Engineers developed structural plans that maximize the patient experience. A two-story indoor/outdoor gym literally elevates rehabilitation activities. Building connectors link the Neilsen building to an existing hospital structure as well as the future Medical Education & Discovery Complex. And patient rooms, gyms, and open, maneuverable common spaces are drenched in light with views of Wasatch mountain and valley views.
It is a stunning space to be sure. More importantly, the hospital is purposefully engineered to promote patient and family emotional well-being alongside physical rehabilitation.
