Cleveland Clinic Avon Hospital is a 212,000 square-foot, 5-story building adjacent to the Richard E. Jacobs Health Center. The building was designed to reflect the best practices and technology available. Patients enjoy self-service selections using interactive flat-screen TVs in each patient room. “The spirit of innovation drove the entire project. Using interdisciplinary workstations, we created a central hub where doctors, nurses, physical therapists and others cohabitate and do their work as a team”, says Rebecca Starck, M.D., president of the hospital.
