Therapeutic healing center: a holistic healing experience

Project Statement To create an architecture free of inner contradictions in the form of a therapeutic medical facility located on the Health Science Center Campus in Lubbock, Texas.

Form Statement In order to be perceived as appropriate and fitting, architecture should be free of inner contradictions. It possesses the ability to impact formal and personal feelings of conflict, and, therefore, plays an important role in the healing processes.

Facility Statement A therapeutic medical center should be a healing environment that provides an escape from worldly conflict and an assurance of comfort and privacy in order to allow physical and emotional therapeutic relief to medical patients.

Context Statement The Healing Center is to be located in the 3700 block of Fourth Street on a lot adjacent to the Health Sciences Center, The Garrison Geriatric Education and Care Center, and the new Rawls Golf Course.

Scope Statement The Healing Center will be an approximately 7,500 square foot facility, encompassing wellness rooms, a meditation chapel, a therapy pool, and a multimedia theater among its other provisions.
