Faculty and students within this cluster leverage the strengths of Clemson’s reputable Architecture + Health Program and the Center for Health Facility Design and Testing. Building on the success of these programs, research studies often employ interdisciplinary teams and evidence-based design approaches to investigate how healthcare facilities contribute to outcomes such as clinical outcomes, operational efficiency, clinical effectiveness, occupant satisfaction, social equity and the ability to accommodate change. Various research approaches are used throughout the design process, such as pre- and post-occupancy evaluations, simulation-based research and virtual reality/artificial reality applications. Our community of scholars explores critical conversations around ways to create better-designed environments that promote health at all scales, across different geographic contexts, for diverse populations and across multiple building typologies and spaces. We strive to generate practical research that can be applied to forward-thinking practices and global movements interested in creating knowledge that improves human, community and planetary health.
