St. Louis Children's Specialty Care Center
Arcturis enhanced the patient experience at the Children’s Specialty Care Center in Town and Country, Missouri, through environmental graphics. Implemented across 11 different clinics in the new building, these graphics include glazing, lobby enhancements, wayfinding, and friendly exam room wall coverings. The cohesive design theme of discovery guides patients on an educational journey, making visits more engaging and less intimidating. This project demonstrates our expertise in creating welcoming healthcare environments and our ability to collaborate with multiple stakeholders to achieve a unified vision. Our work ensures that patients and families have a positive and educational experience throughout their visit, highlighting our commitment to thoughtful and effective design solutions.
Arcturis was asked to design custom environmental graphics for the Children's Specality Care Center clinics that would create a calm, healing environment for children and young adults. The designs needed to reflect the personalities and practices of 13 different medical clinics that would soon be occupying the new building.
They needed to be playful enough to capture the imagination of smaller patients and complex enough to appeal to those up to 18 years old. BJC Healthcare required staying power and the graphics needed to reach a level of sophistication that would allow them to remain relevant for years. Arcturis integrated functional touches like engaging imagery on the ceilings of treatment areas where patients recline, hopscotch tiling on the floor to support mobility therapies, and graduated levels of privacy glazing at suite entries to protect sensitive eyes during ophthalmology treatments. The graphics added a layer of interest and depth to the building without overwhelming the space or the people.
