His passion for healthcare design is to motivate and guide teams to create extraordinary healing environments that fulfill client goals and contribute to the larger community, the firm said.
“During my 30-year career as an architect, I have always been interested in the design of healthy, efficient, and inspiring spaces that uniquely express each client’s mission and organizational objectives,” said Levendusky. “I look forward to supporting Taylor Design’s vision of design that empowers people.”
