About The Position

At Gensler, healthcare design is never just about the built environment. It is about people. Our work is grounded in research, driven by insight, and shaped by the lived experiences of patients, families, clinicians, and communities. And it spans individual moments of care to systems that serve entire regions, elevating human health and wellness. We call this approach Radically Human and it guides not only our work, but how we build our teams. We seek thoughtful, curious partners who share our belief that design can be a catalyst for better outcomes, deeper connections, and lasting impact. As an Architect with Gensler’s Healthcare practice in Philadelphia, you will help shape some of the most complex and impactful healthcare environments in the region. You will bring together design excellence, technical rigor, and strategic thinking to deliver architecture that is both deeply functional and experientially rich. You will work within a highly collaborative, client-focused culture that values design quality, resilience, and social purpose. This role offers the opportunity to apply informed, user-centered design to unlock solutions that are defining the next chapter of healthcare through spaces that adapt, endure, and elevate the human experience.
