Now for Something with Substance

It has been a few years now since it dawned on me that a good specialty for architects to get in to would be the design of nursing homes. With the aging Baby Boomer population reaching retirement age it only made sense. But like any specialty in our business you don't just waltz in and start doing nursing homes.

But it still was something I had an interest in and we recently got a big break in that department. A small design firm out of Vancouver, Washington asked if we would be willing to collaborate with them on nursing home projects. They had the experience, we had the ability to work in multiple states. It was a match made in heaven and we have already begun our first joint project in Gresham, Oregon.

The company, SCM Design, has worked in this field for over six years and has good relationships with several nursing home operating companies. The types of projects include skilled nursing facilities, assisted living centers, and Alzheimer's special care units.

Give us a call, let's talk. There's more to learn in an interview than can be written here.
