University of Kansas Health Systems

The University of Kansas Health System (TUKHS) is undergoing an ambitious master plan that will expand the inpatient hospital in the heart of Kansas City. Completed in 2018, the 500,000 sq. ft. Cambride Tower A is the first of three new towers that will become the inpatient epicenter for the hospital. Existing facilities will become backfilled with outpatient clinics and services.

Shield, worked with architectural design firm CannonDesign and Pulse Design Group, developed a variety of solid surface solutions for TUKHS’s new inpatient tower and other facilites. Product types ranging from operating room documentation stations to thermoformed nurse stations were designed with clinical efficiency, patient safety and lifetime value in-mind.
