This session examines how Perkins&Will, in partnership with Johnson County, Kansas designed a 130,000 SF integrated Health Services Building that not only co-locates Mental Health, Health & Environment, and Aging & Human Services but also integrates the care within a single, unified campus. Designed as a community-based public health anchor, the project advances Public Health 3.0 by aligning space, operations, and workforce needs to support whole-person care, interdisciplinary collaboration, and equitable access, particularly relevant for rural and underserved populations. The presentation moves beyond form-making to demonstrate how trauma-informed, universal, and biophilic design strategies directly support care integration, staff wellbeing, and long-term adaptability. Attendees will gain transferable design and planning strategies for public-sector and community-based healthcare projects, showing how architecture can strengthen public health delivery, reduce barriers to care, and future-ready facilities amid changing community needs.
