The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center – Brain and Spine Hospital

Maraye Design Studio teamed with Perkins+Will and DesignGroup to transform the former James Cancer Hospital into the Brain and Spine Hospital at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. The goal was to renovate an existing building into a state-of-the-art facility that supports both neurological research and advanced patient care.

The project encompassed more than 60,000 square feet, including the renovation of floors 1, 8, 9, and 10. From the moment visitors enter the redesigned lobby, they are welcomed into a space that reflects both the compassion and the innovation of the care they will receive. User-friendly wayfinding was an essential design feature to help patients and families navigate with confidence.

The upper floors feature 87 private patient rooms, thoughtfully grouped into specialized care units for:

Stroke care

Neurotrauma & traumatic brain injuries

Spinal cord injuries & spine surgery

Epilepsy & chronic pain

Acute rehabilitation

Neurosurgery & sleep medicine

This transformation delivers a facility that is not only highly functional but also warm, healing, and supportive for patients, families, and medical staff alike.
