Where Design Redefines Healthcare
A dramatic two‑story dimensional wall and sculptural lighting set the tone for a space that feels elevated, unexpected, and distinctly un‑clinical.



Upstairs, the reception area features a unique and beautiful installation. This time, a wood-and metal sculpture grabs your attention. It undulates against the wall, conjuring a spinal cord. Across the waiting room, patients can catch a glimpse of a companion piece: a spine-like light fixture hanging above a staff-only conference space.



Clinical and staff spaces alike are designed with the same level of care and intention as patient‑facing areas, creating an environment that feels warm, thoughtful, and personal.
A social hub on each floor contains upscale casework and the warmth of a wood ceiling. The second floor social hub includes a dramatic upholstered bench, providing much needed respite for staff.

The new hospital goes beyond replacing an existing facility, offering an environment that supports practice, teaching, learning, and healing while elevating the quality of life for its community.


The result of a collaborative process with IU Health, project partners, and CSO, the new IU Health Bloomington Hospital provides a patient, family, physician and employee experience that is welcoming, intuitive, and serene.
CSO guided IU Health through a process for incorporating the work of regional artists.
Connecting the facility with its surroundings, art installations underscore IU Health’s commitment to cultivating community pride while enhancing the emotional wellbeing of those served by the facility.


With the budget in mind, designers combined building elements, finishes, and art in the form of unique mosaics in public spaces. Each mosaic was custom-designed using artwork submitted by local artists.
