At Hobbs+Black Architects, we design spaces to be bright and welcoming. When it comes to Pediatric Healthcare, it's about creating environments that support healing, comfort, and connection to a younger, impressionable population.

At Phoenix Children's Hospital West Pavilion, thoughtful interior design works alongside a patient-first care model. From calming, engaging spaces for young patients and their families to an Emergency Department designed for clearer circulation and stronger connections between patients and clinicians, every detail has a purpose.

With 63 private ED exam rooms, dedicated behavioral health and isolation spaces, specialized trauma and triage areas, and an expanded hematology and oncology center, the West Pavilion demonstrates how pediatric environments can balance complex clinical needs with the warmth and personality children deserve.

Because pediatric design can be colorful and caring, engaging and functional, playful and purposeful.

We are proud to highlight this project and extend a special thank you to the dedicated team at WSP in the U.S., PK Associates LLC, Kitchell and Littlejohn & Co for helping us bring it to life!

We had such a great time celebrating H+B’s Bring Your Kids to Work Day! From ice cream courtesy of NBS Commercial Interiors & Steelcase, plenty of pizza, and crafts in the conference room, it was a day well spent. We loved having some new faces in the office and sharing a little bit of our workday with them!

The labs of yesterday can’t solve the challenges of tomorrow.
Public health events, from infectious diseases to environmental challenges, are shifting faster than ever. If you design for today, a building is already outdated by the time construction finishes. That’s why the new State of Michigan Consolidated Laboratory requires a completely different approach.

Hobbs+Black, in conjunction with , is tackling this challenge head-on. Located in Dimondale, Mi, this 285,441 SF complex will serve as a resilient, sustainable, and highly adaptable future home for MDHHS, EGLE, and LEO.
To match our commitment to the future, the project is being designed to achieve LEED Gold sustainability features. 

Stay tuned as we help Michigan move into the future!
