Healthcare Design

Earlier this year, we hosted a workshop to “reimagine” childbirth facilities… Groups of childbirth clinicians (doctors, nurses midwives), architects, engineers, facility owners and others gathered in small groups to consider the optimal birth experience and how we might design processes and spaces to achieve this outcome.

The International Federation of Healthcare Engineering (IFHE), with support from the Association of Medical Facility Professionals (AMFP) and Mazzetti, has launched its first ever Global Healthcare Energy Awards. The awards aim to encourage healthcare facilities around the world to commit to a reduction in energy use that will ultimately lessen the entire global health system’s intensive carbon footprint, all through a simple energy tracking process.

Packard Children's is the second children’s hospital in the world to earn LEED Platinum status (1st on the West Coast), the highest designation for sustainability awarded by the U.S. Green Building Council. And most recently, this energy marvel has earned an *ASHRAE Technology Award, further acknowledging it's highly sustainable and innovative design at work.

Please join us in welcoming seasoned MEP engineer Matt Ebejer, who joined Mazzetti as a Principal in Southern CA. He brings 40+ years of experience, specializing in Healthcare.

University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) has selected San Francisco-based, healthcare specialists Mazzetti and global consulting and engineering firm Arup as the lead MEP engineers of record for its new hospital, UCSF Helen Diller Medical Center at Parnassus Heights (Parnassus Heights).  Collaborating with architect partners HDR (Architect of Record) and Herzog & de Meuron (Lead Designer) to design the “hospital for the future”, Mazzetti and Arup will integrate forward-looking, innovative design, supporting UCSF’s commitment to world-renowned clinical research and training.

Mazzetti is teaming with Facility Guidelines Institute (FGI) to organize the 2nd Clinicians + Designers Workshop to reimagine (and improve) critical healthcare spaces.  This upcoming workshop will focus specifically on childbirth facilities.

Healthy mother and baby is the top priority. AND, the experience of childbirth, including respecting a woman’s desires and choices within the process, is a significant priority. Where we can, let’s give patients a viable choice to interact in the type of “atmosphere” nature provides.

We're serving up a great line-up of sessions featuring timely info on patient-centered smart buildings, energy efficient design case studies, and even international insight for solving domestic healthcare facility challenges.

Dustin Smith, PE was recently promoted to Team Leader in Mazzetti’s Atlanta office.

On the final day of the Healthcare Facilities Symposium (in Boston), Thursday September 19, we’ll kick off the next two-day “Reimagining Workshop” focusing on critical care spaces, presented by the Facility Guidelines Institute (FGI) & theSociety of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM). We’re assembling leading designers and clinicians, including folks from Harvard, Kaiser, Brigham Woman’s, Mayo Clinic, and more. Participating architects and clinicians earn continuing education credits.
