Essentia Health - Vision Northland

Our Project

Essentia Health, with its Vision Northland project, sought to create more than just a hospital; they wanted to create a civic asset, bold enough to serve as the standard bearer of health and a physical celebration of the community it serves. The building, with a design inspired by the natural and urban textures of Duluth, will provide public amenities such as a chapel, conference spaces, retail, dining commons and a roof garden with breathtaking views overlooking Lake Superior. Its patient-centric design will drive positive patient outcomes by consolidating adaptable inpatient rooms, procedure rooms and operating room platforms, and flexibly planned outpatient spaces. As the bellwether project of progressive redevelopment, it is expected to shift the health care environment in Duluth and the region, and financially stimulate the Superior Street area — an underutilized commercial and entertainment hub of Duluth.

Our Approach to Health Care Projects

Architecture can be a force for creating therapeutic experiences that alleviate stress, lift spirits, and give patients and their families the strength to overcome illness. EwingCole’s process is informed by a deep understanding of the program, the site and the science of buildings, but it starts with the need to discover a project’s full potential. We bring together research, creativity and technology through a rigorous process to realize this potential and create places where people heal.
