As hospitals navigate financial pressures, workforce shortages, and rising patient expectations, the stakes for capital investments have never been higher. In a recent Becker’s Hospital Review article, Director of Architectural Design Chris Hoal, AIA, LEED AP, shares how Gresham Smith is helping health systems harness the power of AI to design facilities that are not only functional today but resilient for tomorrow.
Hoal outlines how AI-driven visualization and simulation tools are transforming the design process—from accelerating stakeholder alignment and generating rapid design iterations to advancing patient and workplace safety through research-backed simulation. His insights reveal how AI is reshaping the way architects communicate, collaborate, and make decisions, ultimately creating environments that better support patients, clinicians, and long-term operational success.
