VISION: The Carle Polytrauma Rehabilitation Center is dedicated to providing the highest-quality patient care through community involvement, integrated research, scientific discov-ery, and education for the purpose of maximizing the recovery of the individuals in our care.

Our core values are represented in the Carle Strategic Plan, which in compliment with our research and collective healing spaces, establish a foundation for

how we advance the ability of the people we serve.

MISSION: To advance human ability, the CPRC will not only serve as a landmark and educational

hub for the awareness of veterans in the immediate Champaign-Urbana area, but the CPRC will also

serve as the leading Midwest TBI rehabilitation center for the innovation and application of new and more

promising treatments to improve and eliminate the effects of injury and debilitating health conditions,

which will inevitably foster the wounded warriors back into our community.

Community and Private Garden Space

After designing the program, our team came up with the allowable perimetersfor our building if it were to become a 5 story, mid-rise rectangle

The team seperated the inpatient aspects with the outpatient and cameup with the core space

The overall concept incorporatesa large campus design. In order to maximizeviews for the occupants, the building is setback in a “ying/yang” principle

In order to accomidate for the large exteriorpublic spaces, a small program is introduced to not only house bathrooms, bike shelters and cafe’s, but it also serves as a barrier between the services space to the east and the public campus to the West

A balcony system stems throughout the building’sfacade as a way of creating easy-to-reach exteriorspaces for occupants for optimal views to the events occuring on the boardwalk and campus

Cut-outs and various gardens are introducedto the building for ease of access for inpatients, and also to give private spaces for clinicians, outpatients,students and families

A MECCO shading system is placed on the southfacade to protect the occupants from the harsh southern exposure from the sun, to promote balconyexploration and interaction

The building cover continues to wrap aroundto not only provide shading for the roof healinggardens, but also to cover the roof mechanical operations

A 3 foot slot is designed within each building floor to not only maximize the amount of floor to floor height, but also to create a more quiet and adaptable hospi-tal. The slot runs all the plumbing, HVAC and electrical equipment to keep all floors free of wires and large un-movable objects. Carle Foundation Hospital also wanted to be sure the building was adaptable for fu-ture expansion and renovation, so the change of floor plans are easily done. Views were also an important part of our design, so the slot brings 15 foot height exterior walls for maximum views and optimal day-lighting. Because of the amount of material between floors, there is minimal noise from floor to floor, which is a huge healing coorelation to TBI patients.

The design of the patient room was inspired through maximizing view points for both nurses and patients. This move was done due to our research of TBI victims. It was observed that patients with TBI had a faster and easier healing process when they were given the ability for larger exterior viewpoints to vegitation and the community. We prioritized the patients inability to see the clinitian over the patients safe transition to the bathroom. However, we designed a ceiling track system that would allow the patients to easily moveu-ver throughout the room. As a veteran, the patient usually has a tough minded opinion of themselves, and so they accept unwinnable challenges (like their physi-cal ability during intensive care). Thus, the track allows them to safely challenge themselves. Due to the urban fabric of the site, each patient room includes in-dividual garden spaces to provide horticultural therapy and views.
