A first-of-its-kind hybrid prototype, it reimagines the traditionally insular data center as a vibrant, community-focused hub for AI-driven healthcare research, education, and innovation. The lower floors host dynamic learning spaces, including a 300-seat meeting room and flexible simulation areas, while the upper levels balance high-security data operations with visual porosity through a custom fritted-glass facade. Encircled by a public plaza and gardens, the building merges technology, training, and accessibility, setting a new standard for healthcare infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Almoosa Rehabilitation Hospital by <a href=_-232.html target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HDR<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-sandow-image-gallery\"><div class=\"splide\" data-splide=\"{&quot;fixedHeight&quot;: &quot;500px&quot;, &quot;autoWidth&quot;: true, &quot;gap&quot;: &quot;1px&quot;, &quot;pagination&quot;: false}\"><div class=\"splide__arrows\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--prev\">Prev<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--next\">Next<\/button><\/div><div class=\"splide__track\"><ul class=\"splide__list\"><li class=\"splide__slide\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"2017\" data-src=\"https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/idx250301_roundup15.jpg\" alt=\"A building with a lot of lights on it\" data-id=\"251472\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/idx250301_roundup15.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-251472 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/idx250301_roundup15.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/idx250301_roundup15-223x300.jpg 223w, https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/idx250301_roundup15-762x1024.jpg 762w, https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/idx250301_roundup15-768x1033.jpg 768w, https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/idx250301_roundup15-1142x1536.jpg 1142w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" src=_-2.html style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1500px;

The building itself is a teaching tool, with each of its three levels representing field, forest, or treetops. Biophilic strategies\u2014including mass-timber construction, an organic-based palette, and carefully integrated daylight\u2014help build connections to the natural world, while every classroom has direct outside access, reinforcing indoor-outdoor learning.

Rising through all levels, the central stair is both a powerful sculptural element evoking the organic form of a tree and a catalyst for movement and interaction, promoting health and inviting exploration.
