The Challenge
The Honickman Center is home to a dozen programs—everything from cancer support and respiratory care to gastroenterology. Each specialty’s unique needs had to be accommodated. Plus, Jefferson Health required speed, cost certainty, and a future-ready interior that would minimize operational expenses. The flexibility of the DIRTT Construction System was ideal in designing spaces to work for patients and practitioners.

Our Solution
DIRTT’s suite of modular components work together seamlessly. They’re designed to integrate in a variety of configurations to easily accommodate the specific needs of different clinics. The high-end fit and finish of our healthcare-specific components, casework, walls, and doors is unmatched.
Our modular, prefabricated components are designed for disassembly and reconfiguration. This makes DIRTT systems ideal to accommodate maintenance needs, technology upgrades, and renovations. Updates can be made with minimal cost, dust, and downtime.
The Impact
Visitors to the Honickman Center are struck by the elegant design, large-scale biophilic graphics, and elevated patient experience. However, one of the project’s most remarkable outcomes isn’t even visible. When Jefferson Health looked at maintenance orders across their organization, they discovered that DIRTT could deliver operational savings of between 30% and 70%. It’s a win-win that proves controlling costs doesn’t have to come at the expense of patient care.
