Regional collaboration is both a significant characteristic of the health and science industry today and a major impetuous for urban development. Advances in technology, evolving practice patterns, and increased competition have come together to create one of the most challenging and exciting periods in the history of urban universities and the cities they call home. As a multidisciplinary practice founded on the premise of collaboration, SOM is uniquely positioned to offer the full spectrum of services necessary for realising the potential of this era. Our depth of expertise in urban and campus planning, architecture, interiors, and engineering, coupled with our experience in healthcare, research, and educational facilities, gives SOM the edge to lead, innovate, and advance the art of architecture for health and science.
