GOOD SAMARITAN SOCIETY

Sioux Falls, South Dakota

This campus is envisioned to become one of the most progressive health-care facilities in the nation… a state-of-the-art facility comprised of several buildings where research, education and high quality care-giving can occur together on one campus.

One of the most progressive features of the masterplan is the layout of the residential/health-care district.  The skilled nursing facility is designed to appear as a series of townhomes with front porches on a “village green” where residents can feel and be part of the larger community.

The Faith and Life Building is envisioned as a stunningly beautiful edifice centrally located and residing partially in the water of the central reflecting pond.  It serves as the symbolic and spiritual heart of the campus.  Throughout the campus there will be a variety of contemplative outdoor spaces …i.e., prayer gardens, strolling gardens, courtyards, and other special places to enjoy life.
