The Construct Hybrid Operating Room project is the build out of an existing shell space in the surgery suite at the Kansas City, Mo VAMC. It encompasses approximately 1,930 sf. The build out consist of a 1,200 sf hybrid operating room, control room, equipment room, scrub station and sterile storage.

Guidon designed a 13,000 sf addition to the main ambulatory care center to expand outpatient Behavioral Health services and renovate approximately 4,500 sf of existing space for Medicine Specialty and Primary Care clinics. Guidon led a series of charrettes and end-user meetings to collaboratively develop initial design concepts and floorplans.  To help focus the effort on improved patient outcomes and proven healthcare design techniques, our team researched the most current mental health best practices from the Center for Health Care Design and Planetree.

Guidon partnered with RATIO Architects to provide interior and schematic design services on this new facility. Our team worked closely with MWL through each design phase and from construction to project close out. This advanced lab will accommodate  additional lab staff and resources to keep up with the latest technology. This unique lab analyzes evidence from violent crime bringing closure to the community and those victims.

1221 Penn was designed to set the standard in Indianapolis for sustainability and wellness. Guidon transformed the former FBI headquarters in the Old Northside into a dynamic, healthy, and highly sustainable open office.  The building features a glass lightwell with vegetated roof, natural cedar accents, a solar array, and strong connection to place. The final product exceeded all sustainability goals and is Indiana’s first LEED v4 Platinum building.

The Assessment & Intervention Center (AIC) provides shelter, case management, basic physical and mental health assessments, and housing referrals to individuals at risk for homelessness, incarceration, substance abuse, or mental illness. The center provides a safe place for individuals experiencing crisis or intoxication to be move from a jail or emergency room to the AIC in coordination with the Indianapolis Criminal Justice Center, Indy PD MCAT, and community stakeholders.

Guidon was directly engaged by the State of Indiana Family & Social Services Administration to program and begin the design for the NeuroDiagnostic Institute and Advanced Treatment Center in Indianapolis, Indiana. This 159 bed facility represents a novel model of care for behavioral health in Indiana, a state-of-the-art facility.

The Julia M Carson Transit Center is the $26.5M hub for Indianapolis mass transit and a signature project in the renaissance of downtown Indianapolis. The 14,000 sf facility was designed with modern, sleek lines to present iconic architecture and design to the community. Julia Carson was an ardent advocate for equity and would have been proud of the dignified, empowering transit hub.
