The Marcus Center for Advanced Rehabilitation at Shepherd Center demonstrates what is possible when thoughtful design begins with a clear understanding of the people a building must serve.
Part of Shepherd Center’s Pursuing Possible campaign, the 13-story facility will support expanding clinical, research, and administrative programs while freeing space within the existing campus for additional patient beds and enhanced services.
A new pedestrian bridge connects the existing hospital to the Marcus Center’s two-story lobby, creating an intuitive transition between new and existing spaces. Throughout the building and site, universal accessibility principles guided the design, with every detail carefully considered to support patients, families, clinicians, and staff.
Complex projects like this require more than a strong design vision. They require listening, close collaboration, careful coordination, and a practical understanding of how each decision affects the people who will use the space every day.
As RJTR continues expanding into the healthcare sector, we are proud to bring this same thoughtful, responsive approach to environments that advance care, support innovation, and improve the patient and family experience.
