HED Appoints Jacob Campbell to Enhance Healthcare Design in the Northeast

HED Welcomes Jacob Campbell as Associate Principal

In a significant move to strengthen its healthcare design initiatives in the Northeast, HED, a prominent architecture and engineering firm, has announced the appointment of Jacob Campbell, AIA, LEED Green Associate, as Associate Principal in their Boston office. With over 15 years of hands-on experience in designing intricate healthcare, civic, and mixed-use spaces, Campbell is set to make a notable impact on HED's mission to deliver thoughtful, innovative solutions.

Campbell's portfolio speaks volumes of his expertise, featuring transformative projects such as large-scale urban developments, community-centered institutions, and expansive hospital campuses. His recent work on the new 1.2 million-square-foot hospital building at Massachusetts General Hospital showcases his capability in managing nationally recognized healthcare projects. Notably, Campbell also led projects like the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Hospital in Brooklyn and the Rainier Square mixed-use development in Seattle.

Fuelled by his passion for collaboration and exploration, Campbell excels during the conceptual phases of design. He believes that healthcare design embodies civic responsibility, as each design choice profoundly affects patients, staff, and the broader community. “I believe great healthcare design begins with curiosity,” states Campbell, emphasizing the importance of asking the right questions and integrating diverse perspectives. He furthers his commitment to creating empowering environments that genuinely serve the community’s needs.

With registrations as an architect in both New York and North Carolina, along with membership in the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), Campbell blends technical proficiency with innovative leadership. His efficient, collaborative approach aligns with HED's overarching design philosophy, which focuses on uniting architects, engineers, and planners into cohesive teams to tackle challenges head-on and deliver imaginative, future-ready solutions.

Brett Paloutzian, HED's Healthcare sector Business Leader, praised Campbell's inquisitive and collaborative design methodology, recognizing it as an ideal reflection of HED's mission;
