Transforming Behavioral Health Spaces with Gerflor USA's Innovative Solutions
Gerflor USA, an expert in flooring and integrated wall systems for healthcare, partnered with Stantec and Connections Health Solutions to enhance the Harrisburg behavioral health facility. Their focus was on safety, durability, and therapeutic design, particularly in the Observation Unit. The project addressed behavioral health needs by incorporating pick-resistant, easy-to-maintain surfaces and elements of "Positive Distraction." A key feature was the use of SPM Printed Wall Panels—dense, impact-resistant panels with high-resolution local photography digitally printed onto the surface. This innovative solution from Gerflor created a calming, visually engaging environment that supports patient well-being while meeting the strict demands of behavioral health design.
