Design Collaborative has been ranked No. 38 on Modern Healthcare's 2026 Construction & Design Survey list of Top Architecture Firms, earning national recognition for the firm's healthcare design expertise and commitment to creating environments that support exceptional patient care.
The annual survey ranks architecture firms based on the total construction cost of healthcare projects completed during the previous year, highlighting firms that continue to shape the future of healthcare environments across the country.
“This recognition by Modern Healthcare is a reflection of the strong relationships we’ve built with our clients and the shared commitment to advancing healthcare environments together. Being ranked No. 38 nationally is an honor, but what matters most is the positive impact our work has on improving people’s lives. That purpose drives our collaborative approach of working alongside healthcare providers to create thoughtful, patient-centered solutions that serve their communities and support their mission of care,” says Bill Ledger, Senior Architect, Partner and Healthcare Market Lead.
Design Collaborative's healthcare portfolio includes hospitals, medical office buildings, specialty care facilities, outpatient centers, imaging suites, and community-based healthcare environments that enhance access to care while supporting the needs of patients, providers, and caregivers.
With offices in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Charlotte, North Carolina, Design Collaborative partners with healthcare organizations across the Midwest and Southeast to create innovative, patient-centered facilities that support evolving models of care and strengthen the communities they serve.
The ranking comes as healthcare providers nationwide continue to invest in facility modernization, renovations, and expanded access to outpatient care in response to changing patient needs and industry demands.
