The NeuroDiagnostic Institute and Advanced Treatment Center is Indiana’s first new state mental hospital since 1952. The facility, scheduled to begin serving patients in early 2019, will be a key component equipping Indiana to diagnosis and care for those who suffer from neurological and mental health disorders. BSA LifeStructures’ design uses existing infrastructure to form a new facility and a connector between two buildings with a variety of new systems and state-of-the-art equipment.

Learning Objectives:

1.) Explain their approach for a building with mixed occupancy.

2.) Identify the design challenges around behavior health environments and how the objects in the room and design features need to be specified to prevent self-harm.

3.) Find solutions for fitting the design in a vertically configured facility.

4.) Discover planning and design strategies that enhance the patient experience and improve staff efficiency.
