Areas of Expertise
Animal Healthcare
Featuring a truly unique depth of experience with regard to the intricacies of zoo and aquarium healthcare architecture, DesignLeveL believes animal welfare and care should be treated with the same level of safety as that of humans. Our core focus on exemplary healthcare allows us to integrate, when appropriate, the most advanced technologies of human healthcare with the exceptional needs of both domestic and exotic animal care. Understanding the unique needs of your animal population and what allows them to thrive in their surroundings allows us to deliver state-of-the art designs for both animal facilities and environments specific to your needs. Whether your facility will be located behind-the-scenes or front and center, focusing on educating your guests, we work to support your mission and core values. Our expertise includes master planning through construction administration, including quarantine and necropsy buildings. DesignLeveL is proud to be a commercial member of the Association of Zoos & Aquariums.
Adult Healthcare
Healthcare is a multi-trillion dollar industry that is evolving at an exponential rate. Whether it's designing for safety in a behavioral health inpatient unit or rethinking how a space can quickly transform into an isolation unit for future pandemics, our team is constantly researching trends, technology, and materials to insure we can ask the right questions when it comes to designing for the now and the future. DesignLeveL is cognizant about using the client's financial resources practically to most effectively balance safety, efficiency, and flexibility to produce calming environments that support healing.
Pediatric Healthcare
The needs of the pediatric healing environment are profoundly different than any other healthcare setting. DesignLeveL understands the psychological needs of diverse age groups and the wide array of cultural backgrounds of patients and their families. We know that extended care for them is as individual and unique as a thumbprint. At the same time, we also understand pediatric healthcare facilities must be functional and efficiently planned for medical, research, and administrative staff members; while simultaneously being supportive of the patient’s family during an often very vulnerable time. Our spaces are thoughtfully designed to amuse, inform, calm, and educate patients and families while supporting caregivers by offering “offstage” areas and true respite opportunities.
Government
With projects including municipal, state, and federal partners, we have an eye toward preserving facilities, leading to first steps involving a thorough assessment of the existing infrastructure. This includes taking into account deferred maintenance, aims for the future, and developing adaptable, sustainable, and flexible solutions for our clients. Our institutional knowledge of regulations and standards across a variety of user groups at all levels of government make our services on public projects a highly sought-after resource. A project’s success will be ultimately measured by our team’s ability to deliver the highest value facility within the fixed parameters of budget and schedule. DesignLeveL has always looked to achieve innovative design solutions that are efficient to operate, adaptable to future changes, and cost effective to build and maintain.
