St Vincent’s Lucas Brain and Spine Hospital

The Lucas Family Brain and Spine Hospital at Ascension St. Vincent is a state-of-the-art healthcare facility designed to advance specialized neurological and spine care for adults and children.

A defining feature of the building is its distinctive façade, which combines Petrarch composite stone panels with a bespoke aluminum framing system designed to echo the natural curvature of the spine.

The carefully coordinated panel arrangement and contrasting finishes create a dynamic architectural expression, bringing depth, texture, and visual interest to the exterior. The result demonstrates how composite stone rainscreen panels can support distinctive design intent while delivering a durable, functional façade solution for a demanding healthcare environment.
