    Redesigning Mental & Behavioral Health Care: A New Model for Clinical & Research Facilities

    Description:

    The Huntsman Mental Health Institute (HMHI) Translational Research Building at the University of Utah marks a significant step in addressing the post-pandemic behavioral health crisis. HMHI will be an international hub of collaboration for testing and refining mental health design as well as research, clinical, and policy ideas. The facility will create a new model of translational research that unites experimental, computational, and clinical research under one roof to address national stigma, policy, and scientific challenges. 

    In this session, we will explore how behavioral health trends and emerging models of care impact the design of multidisciplinary clinical and research facilities, showing how HMHI's neuroarchitecture-inspired design promotes interconnectedness and collaboration. We will discuss how the facility helps to rethink the American mental health care system by de-stigmatizing mental health, increasing awareness, and expanding mental health research and clinical services. 

    Presented in partnership with the Academy of Architecture for Health (AAH).

    Hosted by the AIA Academy of Architecture for Health an AIA Knowledge Community.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Explore the design implications of emerging behavioral health care models and strategies to dismantle silos and foster collaboration across domains like AI, computing, public policy, business, and law. 
    • Understand how innovative, non-traditional lab and workspace environments can contribute to the holistic well-being of scientists, fostering collaboration among researchers across disciplines. 
    • Examine the distinctive design elements and neuroarchitecture principles underlying the HMHI Translational Research Building, setting it apart from conventional research facilities. 
    • Learn how biophilic design at HMHI-natural materials, daylight, and views-enhances research and supports the mental well-being of its occupants.
