Ronald McDonald House of Durham & Wake

Ronald McDonald House of Durham & Wake 2012 Wellness Durham, NC 40,000 square foot facility Back to Projects

The new Ronald McDonald House of Durham was designed to give families of seriously ill children who travel from around the world to receive specialized care at Duke Children’s Hospital a place to call “home” for up to a year at a time. This 40,000 square foot facility includes 55 total rooms, 28 of which are new multi-room suites. With this addition, this Ronald McDonald House became one of the largest on the east coast, doubling the number of families served.

We developed a design that is LEED Silver equivalent, using low maintenance materials and naturally day-lit spaces. Our programming and advanced planning work with the Ronald McDonald House staff, board, and families produced a comprehensive yet accessible document that will guide design and operational decisions for years to come.
