Project Overview
A behavioral health treatment facility designed to serve individuals requiring secure therapeutic care. The project demanded careful balance between clinical treatment needs, security requirements, and environments that support mental health recovery.
This project showcased the integration of advanced BIM technology and AI-assisted documentation to streamline design and coordination across multiple disciplines.
Design Approach
Behavioral health facilities require a fundamentally different approach than traditional detention. Key considerations included:
- Therapeutic Environments – Spaces that reduce anxiety and support recovery
- Clinical Functionality – Layouts optimized for treatment delivery
- Safety Without Oppression – Security measures that don't feel institutional
- Natural Light – Maximized daylight for circadian rhythm support
Project Contribution
- Established Revit BIM environment for full project team coordination
- Led creation of custom Revit families for cells, doors, and security partitions
- Implemented AI and Power BI automation for Room Data Sheets across all disciplines
- Developed automated NSF calculations for consistent area analysis
- Coordinated structural planning between trades
- Mentored architect team on justice design principles
