About this session
This presentation explores the design journey of the newly constructed Roy Blunt Center for Healthcare Innovation & Integration in Jefferson City, MO. Carefully situated within the surrounding limestone bluff Ozark landscape, this forward-thinking facility serves as a premier case study for the seamless integration of Trauma-Informed Design and Universal Design Best Practices within architectural, interior, lighting, and exhibit design.
