ABOUT US

TGB was founded in 1993 by Kent Gregory and John Taylor on a passion to design spaces that contribute to health and healing. This passion lives on in the firm’s purpose today: we exist to unify people, place, and purpose, co-designing environments holistically for life. TGB is dedicated to creating environments for health - 95% of our design services are for inpatient and outpatient healthcare facilities. We believe that all facilities impact occupants in a significant way and that each of our designs affect the health, healing, and well-being of its users and the organization.

MEET THE TEAM

The dream is still there, to know that magical harmony of creation, curiosity, and imagination. Where the work is rewarding, the projects are beautiful, and our clients would say “we never expected an outcome like this!'" 

​- Kent Gregory, TGB

TGB IS A REGENERATIVE ORGANIZATION

TGB recognizes the latent potential that often lays dormant within our design team members. In 2018, with the question, “How do we create and unleash the potential in our people?” we embarked on a mission to become a regenerative organization and evolve our design practice. A regenerative organization framework highlights the unique skills each team member brings and how these talents synergize with others in the organization. This allows us to create nimble, dynamic, tailormade teams that specifically address the unique needs of each project. We invest in the development of our team members and create the space and agency for them to be the best in the industry.

DESIGN INTENTIONS

Our design approach is founded on curiosity, inquiry, and careful listening. We believe in the collective wisdom of our client organizations and spend time gaining insights from various stakeholders before beginning design. This has led to a life-centered design approach where insightful solutions to business, environment, social, and technical challenges come from those experiencing those challenges. We believe in cultivating high performing design, client, and partner teams where collaborative and innovative problem solving is the norm and highly effective solutions are the outcome of the team’s combined creativity.

OUR HEALTHCARE APPROACH

TGB has programmed and designed hundreds of healthcare facilities in our three decades. We provide coordinated, and intentional design solutions that offer holistic value by considering systemic impacts, complexity, integration of building systems, operations, technology, and culture. We create solutions that fit each owner's operational model, schedule, and budget. We help our clients maximize available funds by identifying priorities as a complete project team. Such priorities may include user needs, staffing, strategic goals and vision, community demographics, infrastructure upgrades, hospital standards, and jurisdictional and regulatory requirements. TGB is, and always has been, relationship driven, and we strive to design quality experiences that will ensure long-term relationships built on trust and confidence.

“It was so neat to hear people talking about some of the original design meetings and mock-ups you facilitated.  It is important that you fully grasp what was inspired from those meetings, that being pride, ownership and a healthy introduction to the PacMed/Providence teamwork that will be necessary for success.”
