Dear Readers:

Welcome to our 2005 second edition of INNOVATE by HKS Architects.Our ongoing intent with this magazine is to communicate our firm's visionthrough the projects designed for our esteemed clients.

In this issue, we discuss the reinvention of RadioShack from the personal perspec-tive of David Edmondson, the company's new CEO. This award-winning project isthe result of major strategic changes in the way that RadioShack does business.Our sports feature this month focuses on the new home for the Indianapolis Colts.The NFL stadium will creatively recall the football field houses of the past whileincorporating many of today's state-of-the-art features. On the residential side, thestylish, 12-story Artisan offers Fort Lauderdale dwellers a hip, new mixed-use development to live and play.

Also this month, we focus on one successful for-profit healthcare company,Universal Health Services (UHS). UHS has expanded rapidly across the U.S., providing cost-effective designs that allow healthcare services to a growing numberof communities. We are also excited about our role on the new D/FW AirportInternational Terminal D and Grand Hyatt Hotel. This new terminal is one of themost inviting in the world. It incorporates art and architecture in a seamless design– serving travelers who arrive into the Dallas/Fort Worth area from all over theworld. HKS's ARCHengine is also featured. The ARCHengine program allowsowners to see their buildings in 3D animation even before they are built.

Again, I would like to personally thank all those who made this magazine possible.Our clients offer HKS the challenges to create exciting architectural design whileour consultants and contractors allow us to innovate. With the firm's current $4 billion in construction underway, it takes a collaborative effort to build and designmemorable and enduring structures.

We hope that you enjoy this issue of INNOVATE.

Sincerely,

H. Ralph Hawkins, FAIA, FACHAPresident and CEO

Mexico is followingthe ambulatory surgical healthcare trend byoffering outpatient services with the completionof Clinica Cumbres, a 15,000-square-footambulatory surgery center. The center, the firstof its kind in the area, is located in Chihuahua, acolonial town located in the northernMexico region. A group of local surgeons and anesthesiologists, alongwith local investors, developed the center to better serve the one-million-plus-person community. “Ten years ago, thispart of Chihuahua was a remote desert,”said Bruce Johnson, AIA, vice president,HKS, Inc. “Now, the area is growingwith housing, retail, and healthcare serv-ices. It is one of northern Mexico's fastestgrowing areas due to the economicsurge and easy access to a major free-way thoroughfare.”

D/FW INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT’S NEW TERMINAL D IS DESIGNED FOR PASSENGER CONVENIENCE, COMF

Page 9: INNOVATE Issue 03

ORT, AND SERVICE – POSITIONING THE AIRPORT TO SERVE AS THE GATEWAY OF CHOICE FOR INTERNATIONAL TRAVELERS.

Page 10: INNOVATE Issue 03

ravelers passing through theDallas/Fort Worth International Airport's new TerminalD will experience a new look and feel – unlike anyother airport terminal. Boutique-style retail shops, aday spa, children's play area, upscale restaurants, andgathering plazas allow the terminal to seem more likean intimate community village.

Enhancing the airport experience begins even beforeentering Terminal D. From the new 8,100-space park-ing garage to the inter-terminal Skylink automatedpeople mover system, the emphasis on customer convenience is unmistakable.

First-time D/FW Terminal D traveler, Daniel Chungcommented, “the new terminal is impressive. It isbeautiful and functional. Picking up my luggage andgoing through customs was a snap.” Other travelers

and crew noted its original design, intuitive wayfind-ing, and expressive artwork.

Adding to the traveler's feeling that Terminal D ismuch more than a destination of arrival and a place ofdeparture is an integrated 298-room D/FW Grand Hyatthotel. Travelers arriving at Terminal D can take advantage of the hotel's lounge, experience five-stardining, schedule a massage, relax at the hotel's rooftoppool and spa/fitness center, and sleep for the night orrest between flights. Special business traveler amenities include conference spaces, meeting rooms,a full-service business center, and valet services.

The centerpiece of the positive passenger experienceis the 100,000-square-foot, one-of-a-kind concessionspaces. Courtyards with skylights and windows,multi-level open spaces, and upscale concessions and

amenities are just a few of the things that differentiateTerminal D from other typical airport spaces.

“The airport terminal is designed to create an enjoy-able experience for travelers - not a rushed and harriedoccurrence,” said Clay Paslay, executive vice presidentof airport development, D/FW International Airport.

According to Wesley Wong, AIA, senior HKS designerfor the Terminal D project, most airports have a runway of retail and restaurant spaces. “Terminal Doffers two distinct, two-level spaces, creating a villagewith a community-like environment. Glass accentsallow an abundance of natural light to enter the area.The dynamic facility provides open spaces, views, anda sense of activity, along with world-class dining andretail experiences.”

All of the terminals at D/FW airport currently providetypical concession and specialty amenities such asduty free shopping and currency exchange for interna-tional passengers, ATMs, Internet access, along withbarbershops and shoe shine services.

In addition to these amenities, the new Terminal D village features exclusive retail boutiques includingBachendorf's Fine Jewelry, MallaSadi Men's Boutique,and Le Bodega Winery as well as a variety of upscalerestaurants such as Cantina Laredo, La Duni LatinCafé, and Blue Mesa Café.

“The goal was to design two varied concession areas –the north and south villages – that evoke an innovativelook while following the design tenets that are presentthroughout the terminal,” said Wong. “Consisting of itsown color palette and textures, the design allows forfuture redevelopment flexibility. The distinctive concession signage allows tenants to express theirindividuality while supporting the overall wayfinding.

“Walk-up food service and retail, along with news andmagazine stands, are located in both villages andthroughout the terminal,” he continued. “The northvillage is designed for travelers with short connectiontimes. These concessions are designed with highertraffic and quicker services in mind.”

The south village focuses on passengers with moretime for amenities such as upscale restaurants, a dayspa, and duty-free shopping. Instead of runningthrough the airport, grabbing a bite to eat, and pickingup a newspaper, passengers are provided with a variety of restaurants and shops. Fine restaurantsoffer uptown cuisine in a relaxed environment.Additionally, upscale coffee shops provide an areawhere guests can read and drink a cup of java whilewaiting for their plane.

“The concession layout provides constant stimuli andinteraction for passengers,” said Sheldon Klapper,president, Center for Airport Management. “We

located one village in visible view of the other,placing high-profile, appealing shops along thepath. If you don't want to shop or eat, the villageoffers places of retreat as well as entertainment.”

Two children's playgrounds, one sponsored byPepsi and the other by McDonalds, provide an areafor kids to play with choices ranging from playground equipment to interactive games.Located nearby is a staged performance area for special entertainment venues, creating a festiveenvironment for passengers.

Art celebrates D/FW's world-class distinction,enhancing the identity of the airport. Local,national, and international artists lent their talents to create an enhanced passenger terminalexperience through paintings, sculptures, andmosaics. A glass labyrinth, entitled “Circling,” byChristopher Janney, hosts a corridor of colored-glass panels with hidden sound effects and

lighting cues. Its colored terrazzo and curved glasswalls are interspersed along labyrinth paths toconvey a sense of playfulness to an essentiallybusiness-like environment.

Public art also serves to aid those with disabilities.Floor textures, such as medallions fabricated fromstone and mosaic materials, give the floors a different texture from the rest of the flooring – allowing sight-impaired travelers to identify gateareas without assistance. From the “DestinationGame” by Pamela Nelson to “Celebration” byBeatrice Lebreton, each piece is uniquely designedto integrate art and wayfinding into architecture.

Another unique aspect of the project is its abilityto meet the needs of non-passengers – specificallymeeters and greeters and well-wishers. FollowingSeptember 11, security regulations prohibited non-passengers in the terminal.

“People were waiting to meet family members andfriends without access to concession services,”said Klapper. “To meet the needs of our valuablehometown folks, the baggage claim areas havebeen redesigned with coffee shops, delis, book-stores, newsstands, and other amenities.”

"D/FW considers the International Terminal DProgram the 'crown jewel' in its CapitalDevelopment Program,” said Rick Lee, HKS projectmanager for the Terminal D project. “The $1.2 billion, two-million-square-foot project provides asignature terminal for D/FW that consolidates allof its international flights and Federal InspectionServices, capable of processing 2,800 passengersper hour, under one roof. The terminal is the gateway to the Dallas-Fort Worth region and a welcome venue for all travelers."

Opened on July 23, 2005, Terminal D, with 99 ticketing positions, accommodates 37,000 passengers daily and 12.8 million annually. TheTerminal D project was designed in a collaborationof three design firms. HKS, executive designers forthe project, designed the terminal in conjunctionwith HNTB and Corgan Associates, Inc.

The D/FW Grand Hyatt was designed by HKS, Inc.,who served as lead architect, with Vidaud +Associates as lead architect-of-record. Wilson &Associates served as the interior designer. Thehotel opened to the public in July 2005.

“Over the past 30 years, D/FW InternationalAirport has become one of the world's preeminentairports,” said Pasley. “We believe that TerminalD's design will immediately become a preferencefor passengers and will provide D/FW Airport with a competitive advantage over other U.S. entry points.”

3DACCESSIBILITY

Page 15: INNOVATE Issue 03

A first-time 3D presentation technology, ARCHengine, offers a means for the architect, client, and othersto come together as avatars (an avatar is a 3D representation of one's self in virtual reality) to tour theproject and discuss the 3D environment with full interaction capabilities.

ARCHengine, an exclusive HKS program, was developed in-house through the HKS Visualization Studio -alongside world-renowned Epic Games. The program adapts a gaming engine to create functional 3Dvisualizations of architectural space, complete with moving figures, operational elevators, flowing water,and running escalators.

“No other architectural firm offers this scale of 3D presentation technology,” said Pat Carmichael, manager, advanced technologies, HKS, Inc. and co-founder of ARCHengine. “We are the first to offer acomprehensive 3D environment displaying all elements of design (e.g. site context, interior, exterior,function, etc.). Additionally, ARCHengine allows architects the ability to render their project 100 timesfaster than typical 3D software packages.”

ARCHengine was recently used to create project-winning presentations for the Grand Prairie ISD'sGopher Bowl renovation in Grand Prairie, Texas; Desoto ISD's Ben Dial Athletic Complex renovations inDesoto, Texas; and the Frisco Soccer & Entertainment Complex in Frisco, Texas.

According to Phil Jimerson, Grand Prairie IndependentSchool District's assistant superintendent of operations and facilities, the software allows peoplewho are not familiar with construction drawings areal-life glimpse into the project. “Our project requiredupdating a 1956 sports facility into a cutting edge destination complete with a contemporary press box,inviting entry, and ADA-compliant seating. I don'tknow how we could have effectively portrayed theproject to our staff, the board, or the community without ARCHengine.”

Clients are also using ARCHengine to market their newbuildings to generate private funding. “It's alwayshard to sell a building to prospective donors before it isbuilt,” said Thomas Schramm, director of development, Baptist Health's Homestead HospitalFoundation. “With ARCHengine, we were able to incorporate a virtual tour into the campaign video toshow patient rooms, lobby spaces, operating rooms, and more. We didn't even print a brochure. The virtual tour said it all.”

Traditionally, the only way to communicate a design in its early phase is to build scale models, referto concept sketches, or spend days creating 3D computer renderings using commercial 3D modelingand rendering applications – generating single viewpoint renders or pre-determined animated walk throughs frame by frame. According to ChrisRoberts, ARCHengine co-founder, ARCHengine's collaborative opportunities allow the architect todepict texture, detail, and lighting to create anunprecedented experience.

“The client stopped us in one of our recent educational presentations and asked if they could seea view from the press box of the stadium,” said JesseCorrigan, AIA, senior vice president and director of theHKS Education Group. “So, we did. No one else coulddo that for them. We won the job on the spot due toour ability to show them what they were buying.”

The ARCHengine technology was introduced, in part,through the movie industry. However, most movieproductions are given more time and a bigger budgetto produce. The chart-buster movie “Finding Nemo”took four years to produce – given a $100 million budget and 1,500 person staff. Architects are given significantly less time and funds.

The gaming industry also played a role in developingtoday's ARCHengine technology. “The gaming industry is currently using a low-polygon version ofARCHengine,” said Carmichael. “Our version is 10 timesmore complex than any game currently on the market.

“The next iteration of the technology, which we arecurrently working on, will incorporate real-time shadows and lighting to projects,” he continued. “Thepinnacle of this technology will be to incorporate realistic people within the facility. In the future, the client, meaning a life-like version of the client, willbe able to walk into a stadium, order hot dog, and interact as they watch a baseball game.”

n a national competition held in early 2005, HKS Sports & Entertainment Group was awarded thedesign for the retractable-roof stadium that will serveas the venue for NFL, NCAA, and other IndianaConvention and Visitor’s Bureau events.

“The team is excited about the opportunity to workwith a nationally-acclaimed firm in creating anothersports landmark in the state of Indiana,” said JohnKlipsch, executive director, Indiana Stadium &Convention Building Authority. “HKS came to the tablewith innovative ideas allowing us to create a uniquevenue for Indiana.”

Fred Glass, president of the Capital ImprovementBoard, added, “HKS understands the challenges ofIndianapolis being a middle market city and provides abuilding design that is economically viable. The firm

I

Page 19: INNOVATE Issue 03

came to the table with original ideas regarding stadium design including different price points in thesuites and a flexible bowl design that allows us to create a unique venue that responds to a variety ofevents, our players, fans, and the community.”

In May 2005, the State of Indiana General Assemblyapproved a financing plan for a new multi-purpose stadium and expansion to the Indiana ConventionCenter. The move will inject $2.5 billion into the localeconomy – creating 4,200 permanent jobs and 4,900construction jobs over the next 10 years – and furthersolidify Indianapolis’ place in the sports and entertain-ment market.

The step also further promotes the city’s future withthe NFL’s Indianapolis Colts. Across the country, citiesare vying to keep their sports teams intact by

designing updated facilities that offer the revenuesand amenities needed to woo the team’s top talent totheir cities and provide a year-round setting that hostsmultiple events.

The new multi-use stadium will replace the existingRCA Dome opened in 1984. According to Klipsch, professional sports stadiums do not have a long life.“Today’s stadiums have to generate income throughrestaurants, special club seating, luxury suites, sponsorships, and more.

“You can’t support the team just through ticket saleslike you could in the 70s and 80s when a quarterback’sannual salary was $200,000 instead of today’s $10 million to $14 million per year,” Klipsch continued. “Itcosts millions of additional dollars today to keep theteam on the field.”

Page 20: INNOVATE Issue 03

HKS, ranked among the top five architectural/engineering firms according to Building Design& Construction magazine, has been responsiblefor designing many of the past two decades’most innovative professional venues includingits current work for the new Dallas CowboysStadium in Arlington, Texas; Miller Park inMilwaukee, Wisconsin; and US Cellular Fieldrenovations in Chicago, Illinois.

“Our goal is to design an exciting setting forthe team and fans, incorporating many elements unique to Indiana and its history asa football and basketball sports powerhouse,”said Bryan Trubey, AIA, design principal, HKSSports & Entertainment Group.

The brick exterior, reminiscent of the old collegiate football stadiums of the early 20thcentury, is part of the stadium’s design. “Thebrick, steel, and glass structure reflects the traditional forms and historical feel of thestate’s venerable collegiate and high schoolvenues,” continued Trubey.

A massive, operable, clear-glass window, located on the stadium’s north side, providesfans with dramatic views of downtownIndianapolis. The expansive window can beopened before or after the game as well as during halftime shows. From an architecturalstandpoint, the facility is also noteworthy dueto its distinctive retractable roof and seatingbowl configuration which add to the stadium’sunique look and further enhances its function.

“The building’s roof creates a branded lookthat is instantly recognizable,” said Trubey.“This is especially important due to the factthat most of the stadium’s coverage will comefrom national broadcasts of the Colts games.The blimp view becomes extremely importantand the best opportunity to make an impressionon tens of millions of viewers.”

“Also, most roofs are designed with overlapping panels that extend from each ofthe stadium’s end zones,” continued Trubey.“Our retractable pitched roof design will open along the longest sides of the building andcome together at the top of the building’shighest pitch.”

The dynamic stadium bowl sets this sportsfacility apart from others. The plan calls for avariety of seating to best serve the fans –including general admission, club seats, minisuites, and luxury suites for all intendedevents. Since Colts fans were used to theirclub seats being located on street level, that’swhere HKS left them. These premium seatsare thoughtfully located near private clublounges and restaurants.

While the Colts only host eight to 10 gamesper year, the stadium is designed to host over200 additional events including conventions,religious gatherings, supercross races, bandfestivals, concerts, etc. The stadium will alsohost the NCAA Final Four for both men’s andwomen’s basketball games.

To promote flexibility and improve site lines,the design team incorporated articulatingseating that can be mechanically raised forbasketball and lowered for a football setting.“We also have retractable and removable stadium platforms that create infill for theFinal Four,” said John Hutchings, project manager, HKS, Inc. “Instead of a typical endzone design, we will run the court parallel withthe football field, incorporating all of the premium suites and amenities.”

More than 45,000 square feet of additionalspace is earmarked to accommodate NCAAevents. This adaptable space can be convertedfor dining, media interviews, or exhibit space.

Page 21: INNOVATE Issue 03

The NCAA, the Indiana Sports Corporation,and the Colts helped to make the city’s vision of a new stadium a reality. The NCAAand Indiana Sports Corporation signed a memorandum of understanding awardingIndianapolis a variety of high-profile NCAAevents through 2039 assuming the RCA Domeis substantially improved or replaced by 2010.The Colts are also in negotiations with the cityto stay in Indianapolis for 30 years.

In addition to being a good corporate citizen,the Colts are a good value, according to MarkRosentraub, PhD, Dean of Maxine GoodmanLevin College of Urban Affairs at ClevelandState University. The Colts-commissionedstudy found that the annual value of theintangible benefits of the Colts to Indiana residents is $83.9 million. It also concludedthat residents believe the Colts make a criticalcontribution to the state’s identity and pride.

“You can somewhat put a dollar amount onthe economic development generated from a sports team – but you can’t evaluate the intangible portion of building a new stadium,”said Klipsch. “However, it is easy to demonstrate economic decline when a teamleaves the city.”

“We feel that the addition of an NFL team provides unmatched exposure for any city,”said Indianapolis Colts senior executive vicepresident, Pete Ward. “The Colts brand andfranchise is well recognized not just in thestate but throughout the region. We want tocelebrate this by designing an extraordinaryfacility that will reflect our rich football history in Indiana as well as the NFL’s roots inthe Midwest.”

The stadium project is targeted to breakground in the fall of 2005 with an August 2008opening date.

The apex – hosting a Super Bowl.“Indianapolis would likely bid for the opportunity to host a Super Bowl in the newvenue,” said Klipsch. “If Indianapolis is awarded a Super Bowl, it would become one of a small, select group of cities to host the prestigious event. That – and, of course, a Super Bowl win – would be a victory for Indianapolis.”

TAKING ONE OF THE NATION'S LARGEST RETAILERS TO THE TOP

REINVENTING

Page 24: INNOVATE Issue 03

David Edmondson joined RadioShack in 1994 as vicepresident of marketing. His leadership impact wasimmediate, powerful, and positive. He began buildinginnovative marketing programs that energizedRadioShack. He reintroduced America to the companyby letting them know that “You've Got Questions …We've Got Answers.” His marketing savvy earned himthe title of “one of the top marketers in the country” byAdvertising Age magazine.

It didn't take long for senior leadership to notice hishigh-energy management style and innate ability toestablish and maintain long-term and mutually-beneficial business partnerships. In 1995, he was promoted to senior vice president of marketing andadvertising. He became executive vice president andchief officer just three years later. In January 2005,RadioShack's board of directors selected Edmondsonas chief executive officer.

Today, he is the driving force behind the implementa-tion of the company's solutions strategy – namely, todominate cost-effective solutions to meet everyone'sroutine electronics needs and families' distinct electronics wants. He continues to modernize andstreamline RadioShack by improving its efficiency andeffectiveness. He has also played a key role in formulating strategic alliances with Sprint, Hewlett-Packard, Cingular Wireless, and SAM'S CLUB.

HKS: Can you discuss the transformation thatRadioShack is undergoing as a company?“RadioShack is a very good company and has been avery good company for a long time. However, our ultimate goal is to become a truly great company.Achieving that goal requires a relentless focus on thecustomer. We realize that customers in different

locations have different needs and wants. Today, weare developing a customized assortment of productsbased on neighborhood. We want to accommodatetheir specific needs and thereby provide the best service to our customers. We are also strengtheningthe training of our people who operate the stores –improving how they interact with customers. And,finally, we are changing the store environment to bebrighter, less cluttered, more appealing to the eye, andeasier to locate the exact item that you are looking for.By the end of this year, 1,000 stores – or 20 percent ofour network - will be completely remodeled.”

HKS: What are some of the exciting products thatyou have in your stores now?“You'll see new products this holiday season. We'reintroducing a high-tech modeling product called VexRobotics. We developed Vex to teach math and science to high school students. In fact, students actually used the product to create a robot that helpedus cut the ribbon at our StoreOne opening this year.Cinego, an instant theater projector featuring TexasInstruments' proprietary Digital Light Processing (DLP)technology, is another new product at RadioShack.This all-in-one video projector, progressive-scan DVDplayer, and theater-like sound system unit – which isabout the size of a New York phone book – allows digital quality projection indoors and outdoors. For$1,299, there isn't a product on the market like it for the price. We are also introducing a new, comprehensive line of Apple products.

In addition, we just signed a 10-year agreement withCingular and extended our Sprint agreement foranother 11 years. This brings RadioShack front andcenter in high-tech CDMA, GSM, and iDEN wirelessnetwork platforms.”

D avid Edmondson, president and chief executive officer of RadioShack, believes

that positive leadership creates outstanding results. He demonstrates that commitment

by helping a work force of 40,000-plus feel empowered to dothe right thing for customers and shareholders.

Page 25: INNOVATE Issue 03

HKS: How do you differentiate yourselves fromcompetitors such as Best Buy and Circuit City?What sets you apart from others?“Our biggest asset is our multitude of convenient storelocations. Approximately 94 percent of all Americanseither live or work about five minutes away from aRadioShack store. We also offer an intimate, customer-focused environment to ensure that the customerfinds the right product, at the right price, and at theright store. When you walk into our stores, you won'tbe among 100 people. Our customers typically call us,'their RadioShack.' We've also found that people connect extremely well with our store teams. Forexample, when you have a problem, you can call Bill atyour RadioShack and he will take the time to help you.That's the difference between our business model andthat of other big-box retailers. They have to sell large-ticket items to make aprofit. Our averagetransaction is $35. Acustomer typicallystops by to pick up convenience items suchas a cable, connector, ora wire. If they are interested in purchasinga cell phone at the sametime, that's great. Butour strengths are helpful service, know-ledge, convenience, andreliability.”

HKS: What isStoreOne, your newconcept store?“StoreOne offers an incredible experience to visitors,but even more importantly, it provides valuableinsights that enable us to strengthen our people,processes, and product offerings for the benefit of ourcustomers. While product selection is quite similar towhat we have online or through your local store, theenvironment is vastly different. Through the store's RFbadge identification system, we are able to track howpeople shop and even how long people look at theproducts. This will provide helpful data to determinewhether or not to produce a particular item for massconsumption. It's a great testing ground that allows us

to learn about consumer needs and wants and thenimplement those findings systems-wide.”

HKS: What is RadioShack's business philosophy?“RadioShack is about connecting with people, technol-ogy, and convenience. Philosophically, we've alwaysbeen about helping Americans by providing access totechnology and assistance to effectively use it. Unlikesome businesses, we're not trying to reach a specific segment of the market. We want to reach allAmericans - from Manhattan, New York to Boseman,Montana - whether they shop in suburban, urban, orrural areas.”

HKS: What is your management philosophy?“I believe that you shouldnever forget where youcame from. My grand-father was a truck driverand my father was a soldier. I know thatbecoming CEO of one ofthe largest companies inAmerica could not havehappened in many otherparts of the world. I'mwell aware that it is aprivilege to beRadioShack's leader. Ibelieve that everyone inthe company providesvalue and importanceand should be treatedwith dignity and respect.

That doesn't mean that we don't have a hierarchicaldecision-making process or levels of management.What makes us different is that we are a performance-based organization. Your value is based on your performance rather than your job title. We rewardemployees through raises, additional responsibility,and rewards and recognition programs that supportstellar performance. We want people to work in anenergetic team environment and contribute to theoverall viability of the company. I don't believe inentitlements. You earn your job every single day.Those who don't fit in with this culture and work philosophy are simply promoted to customer.”

Page 27: INNOVATE Issue 03

HKS: Does the design of your new headquarterscampus reflect this philosophy?“Like our management philosophy, our building is veryopen and inviting. In our prior headquarters, we had23 entrances. Today, every employee enters throughone entrance that we call 'Main Street.' This allowseveryone to interact and get to know each other – eventhough they might work in different departments. Asyou walk around the building, it is amazing to see howthe work environment creates excitement and pride.This morning, for example, we had a Beatles tributeband on 'Main Street' to kick off our United Way campaign. We held a bingo match during lunch in theRiverfront Café. You can walk down the hallway andsee people smiling. Employees also really enjoy all ofthe free coffee bars on every floor, amenities like casual work spaces, and the full-service café. If youcome in on a Sunday afternoon, you'll see employeestouring their families and relatives through the building. It speaks to a new, less formal, more interactive and productive work style. And that's whatwe're all about these days.”

HKS: Why did you choose to maintain your corporate headquarters in Fort Worth?“Our desire was to stay in Fort Worth. Our roots arehere and we know that Fort Worth is a great community. RadioShack had the opportunity to dosomething truly fantastic for the downtown area. Wehappened to own 23 riverfront acres and had theopportunity to purchase 22 acres around the nearbybluffs. It's not often that a company has access to 45acres of continuous property in a downtown area todevelop a corporate headquarters. We also hadunprecedented cooperation with the City of FortWorth. The end result is a win-win situation for everyone involved.”

HKS: What have been some of your proudestmoments with RadioShack?“I am very proud of the fact that 10 years ago, wesigned a long-term contract with Sprint Corporationbased on a technology that some scientists said defiedthe laws of physics and would never work. We took atremendous risk and it paid off. Recently, we celebratedour $1 billion dollar of residual income from our wireless model and signed further long-term agree-

ments with Sprint and Cingular Wireless. Of course, becoming CEO was a proud day for my family and meas well as the people who I worked with along the way.Moving into this new corporate headquarters was afive-year endeavor that I feel is a complete success.We've truly come a long way as a company and have along way to go. We can never stop evolving.”

HKS: What are your future plans for RadioShack?“We want to be a retail innovator. I believe that CEOsshould have term limits because you can lose yourability to look at your business in a fresh and inventiveway. My goal in the next decade is to makeRadioShack synonymous with technology like TheLimited is to clothing, Brinker International is torestaurants, and Walt Disney is to entertainment. Weplan on focusing on operational excellence, retail innovation, replication and acquisitions, and interna-tional expansion. We feel that these future plans willcreate a truly unique and successful company.”

HKS: How do you want to be remembered?“I hope to be someone who made a positive differencein the lives of people who worked at RadioShack. Iwould also like to be known as someone who wasbrave enough to take charge as well as give chargewhile being caring enough to actively manage people'shopes and dreams. Finally, when I leave, I hope thatpeople look back and say that he didn't lead for himself but for the people that followed him. That'svery important to me.”

Edmondson's success is mirrored by the firm's bottomline. RadioShack is one of the nation's largest retailersof consumer electronics with over $4.8 billion in annual revenues. The company operates a vast network of sales channels including nearly 7,000 company-owned and dealer stores.

However, he is acutely aware that nothing meaningfulever happens without the help, support, and hand workof others. As a leader, he continues to be committed tocreating a powerful and positive difference in the livesof RadioShack people, customers, community, andshareholders. His vision – to keep providing answersto America's many high-tech questions.

Offering chic, cool living

environments was one of

the goals of HKS architect

Doug Compton when he

began designing the

contemporary, mixed-use development called the Artisan. The stylish 12-story

high-rise, located in the midst of a revitalized area in northeast Fort Lauderdale, is the

inspiration of Key West Hobe Sound developers John Doyle and Paul Kozel.

“Our goal was to design a contemporary building that offers unique alternatives to typical area condominiums,” said Compton. “We wanted to speak to the vitality andvibrancy of today's younger generation by creating an open, crystalline structure withduplex loft apartments.”

The loft building is thoughtfully sited to be oriented perpendicular to the east and west,allowing its floor-to-ceiling, glass-walled sides to capture scenic canals, coastal areas,and ocean views. The building's slender east side is designed to face toward existingsingle-family residential housing.

A four-story icon, made of backlit glass and metal framework, is a welcoming andwayfinding beacon at the building's entrance – located along Federal Highway. Everyone of the units hosts generous balconies for outdoor leisure activities and enjoyment. A fourth-floor pool is located atop the entrance garage. Additional building amenities include a fitness area with sauna, media room, and 4,000-square-foot upscale

restaurant. “We incorporated a variety of interesting designexpressions into the building,” said Compton. “From our cantilevered-style pool to the entry icon, the building will be awelcome, inviting addition to the neighborhood.”

A three-story covered parking garage, located off of Federal

Highway, is available for condominium tenants. The

development also includes three contemporary townhouses. A

back-of-house approach to parking was taken for the

building's town homes, allowing residents to drive down a

service alley to an adjacent parking garage. This allows less

congestion and friendlier views to the townhouses from the

neighboring residential area.

The Artisan includes three townhouses and 42 loft condominiums ranging in price from $449,900 to $995,000.Each town home offers more than 3,200 square feet of space.The loft units range from a 1,200-square-foot, one-bedroom,1.5-bath unit to a 1,885-square-foot, three-bedroom, three-bath unit.

According to Doyle, a surge in South Florida-area owned properties took place about three years ago. “We originallypurchased the property to build a medical office building.When that did not reach fruition, turning the development into a condominium/rental community justmade sense.”

Today, the building's condominiums and town homes are

completely sold out,” he continued. “We expect to receive the

development permits in September, break ground by

Christmas, and complete the project by early 2007.”

UHSBUSINESS

Page 31: INNOVATE Issue 03

The healthcare system that began as one hospital in

1978 has grown into more than 100 full-service acute

care, behavioral health, ambulatory surgery, and

radiation oncology centers located throughout the

United States.

The system’s successful growth has stemmed from

the acquisition and development of hospitals located

in fast-growing cities across America. After the

system buys or builds the facilities, they develop them

into strong franchises - based on exceptional service

and effective cost control.

According to founder and president/CEO, Alan Miller,

UHS maintains one of the strongest balance sheets

in the industry. “At a time when many healthcare

operators are struggling to meet the challenges

of a changing market, UHS has recently posted

consecutive years of increased earnings from

continuing operations.”

In 2004, the company posted a net income of $169.5

million on net revenues of $3.9 billion. “UHS owes this

success to a responsive management style and a

service philosophy that is based on integrity,

competence, and compassion,” said Miller. “We are

committed to providing the lowest cost care with the

highest quality healthcare facilities to all of the

communities in which we serve.”

getting startedPrior to founding UHS, Miller served as chairman and

president of American Medicorp, until its takeover by

Humana Inc. in September of 1978. At age 35, he

became president of Medicorp, at a time when the

company’s future was uncertain. He resolved the

company’s serious financial and organizational

problems, and over the next five years, built it into one

of the most profitable healthcare companies in the

industry. This same forward thinking was applied

when he was named president and CEO of Universal

Health Services in 1978.

The first accomplishment attributed to Miller’s

leadership was the acquisition and development of

four healthcare facilities located in Florida, Texas,

California, and Nevada. “Many companies expand

by region – typically around their corporate

headquarters,” he said. “However, coming from a

national firm, I knew that we could successfully

expand nationally. Our secret was hiring a good

management group, seeking appropriate business

opportunities, and acquiring the capital needed to

make the facilities a reality.”

Another savvy move had to do with the creation

of a unique design and construction department.

Just like the organization, the group is run with

little bureaucracy and numerous opportunities to

continuously streamline and improve processes.

“We learned to work together to create high-quality,

low-cost architecture through a method that begins

with operational planning,” said Don Pyskacek,

assistant vice president, design and construction,

UHS. “Before we design, we look at the area’s

demographics, the culture, the types of patients

served, the severity of illnesses in that part of the

country, etc. None of the UHS designs are cookie

cutter. However, certain parameters and principles are

continuous. You won’t find two UHS facilities that are

exact replicas.”

The healthcare provider targets areas or existing

hospitals where they could improve or expand upon

their services to benefit the community. Some of its

early successes in the 70s and early 80s included the

acquisition of Valley Hospital Medical Center in Las

Vegas, Nevada and five hospitals, two in Chicago and

three in Washington State, purchased from the

Steward Foundation. In 1983, UHS acquired Qualicare,

Inc. which added 11 acute-care and four psychiatric

facilities to its list of facilities in addition to new

facilities in Nevada, Louisiana, Arkansas, Michigan,

and Georgia.

Universal Health Services (UHS) knows how to create a successful, sound business that is dedicated to the

art of healing.

Page 32: INNOVATE Issue 03

In the late 80s, a vast number of hospitals

began to close due to financial difficulties.

Universal Health Services continued to grow

geographically and in revenues – with first

quarter net earnings up $1.1 million.

Boosting its vast behavioral health portfolio,

the healthcare provider opened Two Rivers

Psychiatric Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri,

Glen Oaks Hospital in Greenville, Texas, River

Crest Hospital in San Angelo, Texas in

addition to acquiring La Amistad Psychiatric

Treatment Facility in Maitland, Florida,

and Chalmette Medical Center in Chalmette,

Louisiana.

the trendsThe 90s served as a platform for steady

growth for Universal Health Services – with 22

new developments or acquisitions expanding

outreach to Massachusetts, South Carolina,

Illinois, Indiana, Washington DC, and

Puerto Rico.

Healthcare trends, such as

centers of excellence, served

as the basis of many health-

care designs in the decade.

Wellington Cancer Center, an

award-winning project, was

designed to create a peaceful

setting for cancer patients.

At the same time, trends in

professional office buildings

continued to change to adapt

to new reimbursement systems in the 90s.

Universal Health Services shaped the indus-

try with the inclusion of a number of medical

office buildings including the Auburn Medical

Office Building in Auburn, Washington and

the Medical Office Building at Doctor’s

Hospital in Hollywood, Florida.

“We have found that medical office buildings

serve as a necessary adjunct business to a

community hospital as the population ages,”

said Miller. “Most are necessary in supporting

the basic business. They serve as the roof to

the healthcare house.”

more expansionIn 1992, the healthcare provider took a

step outside of its typical business plan –

defined by fast-growing suburban areas – to

acquire downtown Washington DC’s The

George Washington University Hospital.

According to Jay Hornung, director of design

and construction, UHS jumped at the chance

to work with one of the most prestigious

hospitals in the country. The replacement

facility, constructed in 2002, is a premiere

healthcare facility, designed specifically to

meet the high-tech needs of its clientele. It

serves the President of the United States and

Congress, when in session.

Today, UHS has expanded throughout the

United States with a number of targeted

high-growth areas. South Texas has seen

rapid expansion in the past 10 years with

more than 27 projects completed or under-

way. Numerous projects are also underway in

Nevada, Florida, and California.

construction creativityUHS’ cost per bed – versus the national

average – is lower than any healthcare system

in the United States. To accomplish this, the

healthcare system employs a number of

honed construction methods to save time

and costs.

UHS develops solid, long-lasting relationships

with its architects and engineers – including

a 20-plus-year relationship with HKS –

in addition to in-house medical equipment

planners. “Given the strength of these

individuals and a full-time UHS design/

construction staff, we are able to produce

air-tight documents for bid to pre-qualified

contractors – reducing change orders, errors

and omissions, and additional services,”

said Hornung.

Noel Barrick, AIA, HKS principal-in-charge

of UHS projects said, “the team designs

high-quality, low-cost architecture by

investigating architectural, structural, civil,

and MEP options. We simplify the project’s

structural system minimizing costly

formwork allowing them to be constructed

quickly. Working with our engineers, the

team also compartmentalizes the mechanical

distribution system. These items reduce

construction material and labor costs as well

as construction time, allowing UHS to occupy

the facility early.”

“We think before and as we design,” said

Pyskacek. “For example, we wouldn’t design a

facility with a decorative piece of marble in

every bathroom if that were the only use of

that trade. That one aesthetic element could

set us back months on our schedule because

we would have to basically wait for one trade.

Instead, we investigate other materials that

are equally as functional and good-looking to

do the job.”

The task of working with user groups has also

been streamlined. “Typically, the hospital

a decade of successPage 28: The George WashingtonUniversity Hospital, Washington, DC; below: Wellington Cancer Center,West Palm Beach, Florida; right: Auburn Medical OfficeBuilding, Auburn, Washington

Page 33: INNOVATE Issue 03

operations people mandate the design

working with various user groups from

project start to opening,” he said. “We work

directly with the administrative staff and

users, guided by the community, to develop a

design that meets everyone’s needs. During

the early design presentations, we ask ‘what

won’t work?’ At that point, we evaluate input

and develop a design that receives final

sign off at design development – not the

construction document phase or, worse yet,

during construction.” Lessons learned also

provide a means of improving the healthcare

environment. The group conducts post-

occupancy reviews at six, 12, and 18 months

and continuously shares the information

with its internal staff as well as close-knit

architects and engineers.

Most recently, UHS created a new corporate

subsidiary to make the most of its unique

design and construction capabilities, UHS

Building Solutions. Viewing its solid success

in building better quality hospitals at a lower

cost as a major competitive advantage, UHS

offers design and construction services to

other hospital systems.

a new dayNow in its 27th year of operation, UHS is

operating 82 facilities in 22 states and the

District of Columbia. Currently, UHS oversees

an estimated 48 acute care hospitals with

more than 6,250 beds, 20 ambulatory surgery

and radiation oncology centers, and 45 behav-

ioral health centers with 4,400 beds – making

it the largest behavioral health provider in the

U.S. Additionally, the company currently has

90 renovation and addition projects.

“While some markets fluctuate

in activity, healthcare is steady,”

said Pyskacek. “A major factor in

continued design/construction

opportunities is the constant

change in technology. All of our

new hospitals are designed to

incorporate wireless technology.

We’re retrofitting our older

facilities. Healthcare equipment

is also always changing. In many

cases, the new equipment has

new physical requirements –

requiring a move or renovation.”

“Continued growth is in Universal Health

Services’ strategic plan,” said Miller. “We will

continue to face the future with optimism –

trusting in our strength, experience, and

foresight to chart a successful course.”

Jay HornungDirector of Design &

Construction

Alan B. Miller, the founder of Universal Health

Services, Inc. (UHS), combined his business

savvy with his desire to help people by

solidifying a career in the healthcare

profession. An authority on hospital

management and development, Miller served

as healthcare advisor to the Federal

Mediation and Conciliation Service and has

formulated positions on healthcare policy

that have affected major national legislation.

Miller's accomplishments are many and

highly regarded in the healthcare industry

including recently receiving the first

“Lifetime Achievement Award” from the

Federation of American Health Systems, “CEO

of the Year for Health Service Industry” from

the Financial World Magazine, and being

listed in Modern Healthcare magazine as one of

the “100 Most Powerful People in Healthcare.”

Don Pyskacek’s passion for healthcare

architecture goes back more than 45 years.

He was one of the first architects in the

country to focus solely on healthcare

architecture – opening his own practice in

1958. With the knowledge gained through his

own practice, design work as well as

experience with other high-profile, Chicago-

based firms, he joined UHS in 1982 as founder

and director of the design and construction

department. He has since been promoted

to assistant vice president of design and

construction. According to Pyskacek, his

greatest satisfaction is working to design

aesthetically-pleasing, functional facilities

that meet the criteria of the people they

are intended to serve – patients, families,

and staff.

Jay Hornung grew up knowing that the

healthcare industry was of interest to him, in

part, due to the fact that his mother was a

nurse. While earning his bachelor’s degree in

business administration from Temple

University – after a two-year stint at the

school of architecture – he joined Franciscan

Health Systems, a non-profit healthcare

system located outside of Philadelphia,

where he worked his way up the ranks. He

has been with Universal Health Services for

10 years, serving today as the director of

design and construction. He manages an

11-person staff responsible for more than

$300 million in construction annually.
