“Healthcare design is in our nature”
Center Design is a Dallas-based healthcare architecture firm serving clients nationwide. We specialize in the planning and design of Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASC), Medical Office Buildings (MOB), and outpatient healthcare facilities across the United States.
Founded on the belief that great healthcare design should support both clinical excellence and human experience, we partner with physicians, healthcare organizations, and developers to create spaces that improve patient care, enhance staff workflow, and deliver long-term operational value.
Our approach blends technical expertise, regulatory knowledge, and thoughtful design to ensure every project is not only aesthetically compelling but also efficient, compliant, and adaptable to the evolving needs of modern healthcare. From early feasibility studies and programming to construction documentation and administration, we remain deeply involved throughout the entire project lifecycle.
At Center Design, collaboration is core to our process. We work closely with engineers, consultants, contractors, and owners to deliver facilities that perform in the real world while supporting the mission of the care providers who use them.
Based in Dallas, Texas, we proudly serve clients nationwide — helping shape the future of outpatient healthcare through smart, sustainable, and patient-centered design.
