Barge Design Solutions

The Wesley Rehabilitation Center (A Campus of Wesley Medical Center) in Wichita, Kansas, is now complete! This state-of-the-art facility will provide vital in-patient rehabilitation services to the community and surrounding towns. It not only addresses a critical need for accessible care in central Kansas but also stands as a testament to thoughtful, community-centered design. Barge provided architectural and interior design services, overcoming challenges to ensure the building harmonized with its residential surroundings. Team members participated in several community meetings throughout a complex rezoning process. By listening to local residents' concerns, #TeamBarge made thoughtful design adjustments that struck a balance between addressing the community's interests and meeting the client's needs. Key design features include natural daylight integration, visual markers to aid rehabilitation progress, and a central courtyard designed as a multifunctional space for healing and relaxation. We’re grateful for our long-standing partnership with Wesley Medical Center, and for the collaboration with I.C. Thomasson Associates, Inc., a Salas O'Brien Company, Stanley D. Lindsey & Associates, Ltd. (SDL), Catalyst Design Group, PC, and JE Dunn Construction. #Design #Rehabiliation #Healthcare #BargeDesignSolutions
