Testimonials

“Karlsberger was great to work with on the Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital in Syracuse, NY. We fondly say that the children’s hospital was 30 years of dreaming, five years in designing and three years to build and it was worth every second.

They led the patient care team, administration and our families through every step of the process in the design, listening to what we wanted and our concerns and integrating them in the design. We use the Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital design, colors, and general principles we developed in all of our other program designs, inpatient and outpatient. Even more important, the design by Karlsberger made the principles of patient and family centered care palpable. ”

“The Karlsberger team achieved all of our goals for this new hospital. They were inspiring, motivating, and determined to find solutions that fit our vision when we encountered the inevitable collision of vision, passion, and budget.
