Part of bcDESIGNGROUP’s 3-story addition to University Hospital includes an Integraged Medicine Unit.  This 24-private bed unit will be a first for MU Health, and one of the first in the region.  In this type of unit, safety and function for both patients and staff are the main priorities. 

​

Our primary goal in designing this unit was to provide a safe and secure environment that is aesthetically pleasing and encourages dignified healing. At first glance, one would not realize they were in a psychiatric secure unit.  

​

One way we achieved this was by designing built-in benches at all patient room windows. This allows the patients a safe seating option near natural light.
