Halyard Healthcare

Full-height glass doors lined with Halyard’s distinct logo allow guests to enter through various other points of entry. Upon entering Halyard’s main lobby, guests are greeted by porcelain Italian tile floors and a fumed Aspen wood reception desk. Elevator lobbies and conference areas are illuminated by 5-foot cylindrical mud-in lighting fixtures. A skyfold partition is installed in the large conference room.

One of the project’s largest and most distinctive areas is the laboratory, featuring a transparent, custom-ducted stainless steel fume hood that allows employees to observe experiments in progress. Full-height glass doors display the patent numbers of Halyard’s products, while chemical-resistant vinyl flooring and sail-inspired millwork clouds enhance lighting, acoustics, and visual interest. Each lab island includes epoxy resin countertops, medical gases, and deionized water systems. Fully operational surgery mock-up rooms showcase Halyard’s products in realistic clinical settings with surgical lighting and medical equipment.

Nearly 80% of the sheetrock in the office is covered with writable wall surfaces, enhancing employee teamwork. Scheduling monitors are installed outside all rooms with meeting capabilities to eliminate any scheduling complications. Wellness rooms provide a place for relaxation and healing for new and expectant mothers or employees feeling under the weather.

The renovation encourages employee collaboration and engagement. Breakaway rooms made for small conferences include full monitors and backlit LED lighting lining the wall, facilitating mobile conferencing. In the six breakrooms throughout the corporate office, Italian porcelain tile backsplash plus custom millwork panels evoke the modern atmosphere felt throughout the entire office.

Halyard’s basement contains a machine shop prototype room, installed for new product development. An environmental chamber allows employees to modify the controlled environment, including humidity and temperature, to facilitate product reaction experimentation.
