Design Research
With the opening of CRGA Pinehurst, we are proud to expand upon our initiative to implement evidence-based design principles in our everyday practice. Using the power of effective design research methodology, CRGA continuously strives to evaluate the built environment from an analytical, data-driven perspective. Our team utilizes key metrics and lessons learned from our breadth of experience designing for the continuum of care to inform design decisions and further propel our firm’s mission to create healthy, sustainable spaces, with patient and staff comfort at the forefront of our vision every step of the way.
