About the CoEE:

This CoEE is using interdisciplinary design to improve healthcare environments through better architecture and building design. Research at this CoEE focuses on (1) how the design of healthcare facilities affects the delivery of healthcare and (2) how to create architectural settings that better serve the health and well-being of patients and staff. Researchers at this CoEE study the relationship between the physical healthcare environment and clinical outcomes; patient, family, and staff satisfaction; operational efficiency; and the ability to accommodate change.

 

Two design, fabrication, and testing prototype facilities will be housed at MUSC and within the Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System.
