Case Study: Rancho Los Amigos achieves sustainable, wellness-focused rehabilitation spaces with Gensler

Rancho Los Amigos preserves 88% of Harriman with Gensler

Rancho Los Amigos, a renowned recovery and rehabilitation facility, faced the challenge of revitalizing its historic Harriman building, a significant architectural landmark. The center required a design approach that would preserve the building's heritage while modernizing it to enhance patient wellness and sustainability. Gensler was engaged to lead this adaptive reuse project.

Gensler implemented a sustainable and wellness-focused adaptive reuse design for the structure. The solution preserved 88% of the existing building and enclosure, and incorporated features like operable windows to improve air quality and energy efficiency. The project successfully increased wellness through inclusive design principles, modernizing the facility while honoring its historic character.
