Where previously healthcare design and amenities were shifting toward providing conveniences and offerings— from yoga studios in hospitals to subscription-based services for healthcare— these spaces are now focused on keeping people safe, healthy, physically distant, showcasing cleanliness and the precautions taken to keep the facilities clean and occupants safe. In the hierarchy of wellness, physical wellness has returned to being the top priority.
In this week’s episode of TheSquare, Brandon Carmichael sits down with Stacey Brimmer, Healthcare Project Design Manager at Corgan, and Chris Grossnicklaus, Corgan’s Healthcare Studio Leader, to speak on what remains for healthcare in a post-COVID world. Listen in as Chris and Stacey dive into the importance of patient-physician connection and trust, the global mental impact of re-emerging from the pandemic and the additional challenges that will come with it, how the higher degree of spatial awareness could impact design moving forward, and more!

We're back this week with another episode of TheSquare's Curious Conversations, where we connect the design community with leaders and visionaries across several industries to explore new ways to problem-solve, and find inspiration through fresh perspectives. On this episode, Brandon Carmichael and Stacey Brimmer, Corgan's Project Design Manager and Senior Associate in the Healthcare sector, speak with Suzanne Tick— an artist, meditation teacher, and founder of Suzanne Tick Inc., where she has established a distinguished career as a textile designer, studio principal, creative director and consultant in New York City.
Working in concert, textiles, materials, and wallcoverings have the potential to transform more than just the space but also the way we feel. As fibers and colors play with scent and texture, a space has the power to excite and inspire, calm and comfort, and open up a world of discovery and exploration. Listen in as Suzanne taps into her background in material and design development for commercial and residential interiors to share the impact textiles can have on a space and its occupants, her role in leading daily meditations to raise consciousness, and her passion for sustainable materials. Let's get curious!
