BSA delivers integrated architecture, engineering, interior design, and planning for hospitals, medical facilities, and health systems across Indianapolis and the nation. Every design decision is grounded in data, tested against outcomes, and built around the people who heal, work, and recover inside your walls.
Indiana's healthcare market is experiencing unprecedented growth. From transformative campus expansions to investments in behavioral health and outpatient care, health systems across the state are reimagining how and where care is delivered.
One of the most significant examples is the new IU Health Downtown Indianapolis Hospital, a 2-million-square-foot and 44-acre campus that is currently the largest healthcare construction project in North America. Across the region, health systems are expanding access and right-sizing healthcare facilities.
As healthcare organizations navigate complex projects, they benefit from design partners who understand Indiana's regulatory environment, delivery methods, and healthcare landscape. With more than 50 years in Indianapolis, BSA has partnered with leading health systems—including IU Health, Community Health Network, Eskenazi Health, Ascension St. Vincent, and OrthoIndy—to create environments that support better patient outcomes, improve staff experiences, and strengthen the communities they serve.
We move beyond traditional cost-control methods toward a value-driven mindset. By aligning architects, engineers, planners, and contractors early in the process, we eliminate silos, streamline communication, and deliver seamless execution from day one.
Consistently recognized by The Center for Health Design with multiple Touchstone Awards. Our commitment to research-driven design is showcased by projects like the UNC Health Rex Cancer Center, recipient of the 2026 Gold Touchstone Award.
As an employee-owned firm, every project principal has a direct stake in our reputation. This ownership mentality ensures dedicated leadership, rigorous scope management, and long-term client trust.
Hospitals don't pause. BSA sequences phased construction around patient care operations — managing infection control boundaries, coordinating with facilities teams, and maintaining life safety compliance on every active floor. The AIA Indiana Honor Award for the Riley Hospital Maternity Tower was delivered inside a live facility, floor by floor, without a single disruption to patient care.
Indiana's shift toward outpatient care demands facilities that consolidate imaging, laboratory, and procedure workflows under one roof without sacrificing patient experience. BSA designs ambulatory centers where flow from intake to discharge is mapped before a wall is placed — incorporating flexible exam room standards and waiting environments shaped by behavioral research.
Large-scale hospital design in Indiana requires fluency in ISDH regulatory review, the state's contractor landscape, and long-range campus master planning. BSA works with health systems to incorporate a Design Basis framework — assessing, planning, and adapting facilities as clinical technologies and care models evolve, from faculty office towers to full hospital campus builds.
BSA's Indianapolis team is ready to help you plan, design, and deliver a space that supports better patient care and stronger operational performance. Reach out to discuss your upcoming project or explore how our integrated architecture and engineering approach can elevate your healthcare facility.
