Artistic Function
One of Jacobs Medical Center ’ s most innovative works of art may be its least noticeable — the unique headwall in every patient room is a testament to using design thinking to craft a highly functional and healing space .
Where typical hospital beds are often surrounded by instruments and tangles of wires , the facility ’ s architect , CannonDesign , endeavored to conceal all technology in a functional yet aesthetically soothing canopy that contributes to the overall healing environment .
The result ? An award-winning design that fits more than a hundred feet of data cables , electrical wires , oxygen lines and other equipment into a gentle curve overhead every patient . The canopy ’ s nonporous , seamless surface also meets stringent standards for pathogen resistance .
