IKM, in partnership with HOK, designed the first-of-its-kind vision care facility in the Pittsburgh region, specifically created to support patients with limited mobility and vision impairment. This innovative nine-story specialty hospital not only serves as a space for patient care but also fosters collaboration among clinicians, researchers, educators, and industry partners.
The interior design was meticulously crafted to enhance the experience of individuals with low or no vision. Every design decision—from finishes to textures to acoustics—was made with patient accessibility in mind, ensuring a seamless and confident navigation of the space for those with mobility or sight challenges.

The result is a dynamic yet inviting environment that complements the building’s overall aesthetic while maintaining functional flow.
