Healthcare interiors that perform under pressure.

Spaces that support patient care and staff workflows — designed for durability, cleanability, and consistent performance across private practices, clinics, and hospitals.

Home / Markets / Healthcare

Healthcare spaces ask more of furniture than almost any environment: surfaces that stay cleanable and take harsh disinfectants without breaking down, seating that holds up to round-the-clock use, layouts that respect both patient dignity and staff workflow, and selections that satisfy infection-control, code, and ADA requirements. We plan and specify for all of it — from a single private practice to a multi-floor hospital.

A solo practice or a hospital campus — you’re the right size.

We’ve outfitted award-recognized clinics and multi-site systems — but a single exam room or a one-doctor practice is just as welcome. Small clients get the same expertise and the same manufacturer access as the largest. No project is too small to do well.

How we help

Specified for care, built to last.

Clinical workflow planning

Layouts shaped around how clinicians and patients actually move — intake, exam, treatment, recovery — so the space supports care instead of getting in its way.

Cleanable, durable — and intensive-use ready

Antimicrobial, moisture-barrier textiles and surfaces rated for repeated disinfection — plus 24/7 intensive-use seating for radiology reading rooms and other long-session clinical roles — selected to survive daily protocols without looking worn.

Code, ADA & infection control

Selections that account for accessibility, fire/life-safety, and infection-prevention requirements — documented for your submittals and facilities team.

Install in active environments

Phased delivery and installation coordinated around occupied, operating facilities — minimizing disruption to patients and staff.

Repurpose without the demolition

Modular casegoods and demountable walls let rooms be reconfigured or repurposed without construction debris, dust, or downtime — keeping clinical space adaptable and infection control intact.

New — now introducing to the US

GT Scien lab, pharmacy & cold-chain safety

We’re bringing GT Scien — a Korean laboratory-safety innovator — to the US, for the lab and pharmacy side of healthcare. Their patented TOGA® toxic-gas filtration and AIoT platform protect the people working in diagnostic and pathology labs and pharmacy: filtered chemical-storage cabinets that capture formalin and solvent fumes at the source, smart lockers that track hazardous-drug and reagent use in real time, and AIoT refrigeration with cold-chain monitoring for vaccines and temperature-sensitive medication.

Spaces we outfit

Every room healthcare runs on.

Patient Waiting & Reception

Welcoming, durable, easy-to-clean seating and reception that sets the tone and handles high traffic.

Exam & Treatment Rooms

Compact, cleanable seating and casework that fits tight clinical footprints and supports the exam workflow.

Infusion & Treatment Suites

Oncology, dialysis, and IV-therapy bays where patients sit for hours — cleanable infusion recliners built for comfort, dignity, and long-session use.

Nurse Stations & Staff

Ergonomic task seating and workstations for people who are on their feet — and at the desk — all shift.

Patient Rooms & Family Lounges

Home-like comfort that still meets cleanability and durability standards — for patients and the families who wait with them.

Private Offices

Physician and administrator offices — desk, guest seating, and storage that work as hard as the clinical space around them.

Labs & Diagnostics

Lab seating and casework that perform in clinical and diagnostic settings — see also Life Sciences & Laboratories.

Imaging & Reading Rooms

Radiology reading rooms and imaging suites — where radiologists and techs need intensive-use seating rated for long, continuous reading sessions.

Why AE for healthcare

A real healthcare track record.

01

Award-recognized work

We furnished PCC Community Wellness Center’s new Austin Family Health Center in Chicago — a Chicago Building Congress 2025 Merit Awards healthcare finalist — and have served multi-clinic systems for years at a stretch, coordinated as one program across locations.

02

Specialized care, handled

Oncology clinics with infusion suites, cardiology and electrophysiology practices, and digestive-health and urology facilities — including a 35,000-square-foot cancer center with an infusion center — across the Chicago region and Northwest Indiana.

03

The whole interior

Not just furniture — flooring, tile, paint, art, and graphics, coordinated into one cohesive environment. Independent of any one manufacturer, so every selection is made for your patients and staff.

Questions, answered.

About Healthcare

Do your textiles and surfaces meet healthcare cleanability standards?
Yes. We specify antimicrobial, moisture-barrier, and bleach-cleanable textiles and sealed-seam construction rated for repeated disinfection, and we document the cleaning protocols for your facilities team.
Can you work within an active, occupied clinical environment?
We routinely phase delivery and installation around operating facilities — coordinating with your team to minimize disruption to patients and staff, including after-hours and sectioned rollouts.
Do you handle code, ADA, and infection-control requirements?
Selections account for accessibility, fire/life-safety, and infection-prevention requirements, and we provide the documentation — specs, certifications, warranties — your submittals and inspectors need.
Can you support both a single private practice and a multi-floor hospital?
Yes — the same team scales from one exam room to a full campus, with consistent specification, pricing, and service across locations.

Working with Applied Ergonomics

What types of projects does Applied Ergonomics work on?
We work on projects of all sizes, from single-office setups to multi-floor corporate buildouts. Our services span workspace strategy, interior design, furniture specification, procurement, project management, and installation across healthcare, education, corporate, industrial, and hospitality environments.
How does the consultation process work?
We start with a conversation to understand your goals, challenges, and timeline. From there we develop a tailored approach that may include space planning, product recommendations, and a detailed proposal. There’s no obligation, and we’re happy to answer questions at any stage.
Do you work with architects and interior designers?
Absolutely. We regularly partner with architects and interior designers as a technical and execution resource, translating design intent into specific, high-performing solutions.
What geographic areas do you serve?
We serve clients nationally. While we’re headquartered in the Chicago area, our project management and installation capabilities extend across the United States.
Do you support ongoing facility needs after a project is complete?
Yes. We remain a consistent point of contact beyond project closeout—handling warranty coordination, reconfigurations, internal moves, modular system relocation and reuse, redesigns, and more. Our goal is continuity, not re-procurement.
