Formed in 1989, Nightingale Associates set out to provide healthcare clients with thoughtful, innovative and sustainable high-quality design solutions based on the belief that the nature of the built environment can positively affect a patient’s wellbeing. Nightingale Associates is one of the largest healthcare, education and science focused design practices in Europe. Our 230 strong design teams, based in six studios throughout the UK and one in South Africa, are responsible for delivering a range of services including architecture, master planning, interior design, wayfinding and product design. As part of IBI Group with over 2,500 employees worldwide, Nightingale collaborates with a network of international offices in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Canada and North America. The practice’s design philosophy is underpinned by research-led design through the work of Nightingale THiNK. Taking a holistic approach, Nightingale works with industry partners, research institutions and building users to highlight the important link between research and practice. The ultimate aim is to help improve the quality, efficiency and sustainability of the built environment.
