“We believe that design changes today are heavily driven by generational differences as much as technology.  Where, just a few years ago the emphasis was on comfort and with a more traditional appearance “Brooks Brothers” .  Today we’re finding a desire for a more contemporary & sleek approach in order to highlight the facilities advanced use of technology….Flexibility of design at an early stage of development has also become a key factor for landlords.  Designing for future growth while also creating an adequate infrastructure, allows the developer to target  a variety of potential healthcare tenants.” – Ciro Fraschilla, AIA, President - Mascioni & Behrmann, Architecture & Engineering, P.C.

"The current transformation of the delivery of healthcare services from a provider oriented system to a patient centric system is revolutionizing where, how, and who is now providing healthcare services…"- Paul Wexler, Wexler Healthcare Properties, The Corcoran Group

“…further generational differences that are driving design changes today will no doubt additionally affect the healthcare institution in the future.  Where the ‘Baby Boomers’ are content to retire in a sub-urban environment – driving the current need for large sprawls of communities, the generation ‘X’ers’ will be inclined to retire in a more urban setting, where a ‘Health Village’ is able to take a more vertical approach.  This will allow us to explore environmentally friendly opportunities such as re-purposing abandon industrial buildings which tend to be closer to urban centers.” – Ciro Fraschilla, AIA, President - Mascioni & Behrmann, Architecture & Engineering, P.C.
