Designing for Rural Healthcare Providers

Designing for Rural Healthcare Providers in Wyoming

Designing a space for a rural healthcare provider can present a very different set of concerns and priorities than designing a similar program for a hospital in an urban setting. Many healthcare facilities in Wyoming qualify as rural providers — facing the persistent challenges of low patient volume, patient and payer mixes, and geographic isolation. These challenges, among others, demand a different design approach from their urban and suburban counterparts. In the following article, we will take a closer look at some of the key design topics to focus on as a healthcare architect, designer, or planner when working with many of the state’s healthcare providers.

Architectural Education Foundation

In 1997, AIA Wyoming established the Architectural Education Foundation of AIA Wyoming (AEF-AIAWy) to assist Wyoming students in obtaining an architectural education at National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) accredited architecture schools. The AEF-AIAWy is a 501(c)(3) non-profit administered by the board of directors and volunteer members of AIA Wyoming. Multiple scholarships are typically awarded each year to deserving Wyoming residents or Wyoming high school graduates.

Town Enclosure

Design Excellence Honor Award – Town Enclosure, CLB Architects

What began as a rough-and-ready study model crafted from cut-up pieces of a furniture catalog has transformed into an evocative public artwork in Jackson, which is now getting a second life in Montana. Town Enclosure by CLB Architects is an open-air, circular array of 22, 14-foot-tall cross-laminated timber panels that spent three years installed on the Center for the Arts’ front lawn. Now, the artwork has been relocated to Bozeman, where it will begin a new chapter in its unexpectedly dynamic life of community engagement.

AIA Wyoming Celebrates Architecture Week Event

At the beginning of the year, no one would know the progress of COVID-19 or where our members would stand on how comfortable they would be in an in-person environment. Before any planning began for the regular Spring Conference, the board of directors decided to hold spring activities virtually. AIA Wyoming merged the ideas from the regular National Architecture Week activities with our regular Spring Conference, while keeping in mind some new ideas from the Non-dues Revenue Task Force.
