Opened in October 2026, the center brings together neuroscience specialties, rehabilitation, and behavioral health in a single, purpose built environtment designed to reduce fear, confusion and physical barriers while supporting healing, learning and long-term adaptation. The session-presented by Ochsner clinical, operational, facilties, and design leaders-will share how Ochsner's vision for neurosciences was translated into an integrated, human-centered facility. The presentation will examne how specific design strategies respond to the cognitive, sensory, and mobility challenges common among neuroscience patients. Topics will include tintuitive arrival and circulation, layered wayfinding, sendory-informed environments, access to daylight and nature, and spaces that support dignity, independence, and caregiver involvement. The session will also highlight how technologies such as AR/VR and 3D printing are being used in the facility to support patient understanding, staff training, and community partnerships that exten care beyond traditional clinical models. Staff traning and early operational feedback willb e shared to demonstrate how human-centered design decisions are already influencing experience, interdisiplinary collaboration, and readiness for care delivery.Show MoreClick the title to see all detailsShow More
