Ulrich is a professor of architecture at the Center for Healthcare Building Research at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, and is adjunct professor of architecture at Aalborg University in Denmark. He is the most frequently cited researcher internationally in evidence-based healthcare design.
The recipient of many awards, his work has directly impacted the design of billions of dollars’ worth of hospital construction and improved the health outcomes and safety of patients around the world. His recent work has dealt with subjects as varied as the effects of single versus multibed patient rooms on infection transmission; the negative impacts of hospital noise on patients and nurses; and how nature, gardens, and art can lessen pain, stress, and healthcare costs. A founding board member at The Center for Health Design, Roger is also a co-founding director of the Center for Health Systems and Design at Texas A&M University, an interdisciplinary center housed jointly in the colleges of architecture and medicine. From 2005-2006, at the invitation of Britain’s National Health Service, he served as senior adviser on patient care environments to create scores of new hospitals
Given annually, the award honors individuals or organizations that have demonstrated exceptional ability to change the way healthcare facilities are designed and built, and whose work has broad impact on the advancement of healthcare design.
