WDD Architects designed Arkansas Heart Hospital Encore in Bryant, Arkansas, as a four-story hospital dedicated to cardiovascular care. The facility brings inpatient, emergency, surgical, diagnostic and rehabilitation services together in a patient-centered healthcare environment.

Patient experience and clinical efficiency shaped the design of Arkansas Heart Hospital Encore. Asian-inspired design elements, artwork, natural materials and a calming color palette contribute to a warm, hospitality-driven environment that moves away from the traditional institutional feel of a hospital.


Abundant natural light and thoughtfully designed interior spaces further create a welcoming experience for patients, families and staff.
