Jason Barry
Community-focused. Detail-oriented. Listener.
Design professional Jason Barry is passionate about improving communities through healthcare design. Whether he’s working on a hospital renovation, a behavioral health facility, a community jail or a tribal wellness clinic, his desire to understand the varying needs of the people who will use the space — from housekeeping, maintenance, and security to nurses, doctors, and patients — underpins his approach to programming and design.
“I get to help my community at the healthcare level. If I help a hospital with their operating room, there’s the potential for hundreds of thousands of lives to be saved, or an X-ray room will see thousands of patients. At the end of the day, I know that I’m helping our community live better lives.”
Jason’s passion to deliver results is fueled by lived experience in healthcare environments from both a patient and provider perspective. Jason spent many years navigating medical facilities while caring for his mother, and his wife works in a hospital emergency room. This gives him a special perspective towards understanding his client’s goals and the “why” behind the work, which Jason always shares with his team to ensure alignment and mutual understanding.
Jason finds the practice of architecture exciting and relishes in the details of materials schedules, specifications, and contracts. He is extremely knowledgeable about REVIT given the many complex healthcare renovations he’s completed where existing systems and new systems must be carefully planned to avoid conflicts in the field. He particularly enjoys the schematic design phase where he can use his experience and creativity to reimagine existing spaces to be more functional
