With a 27-year history at Washer Hill and Lipscomb, Rick Lipscomb’s experience stretches into every aspect of architecture although, his focus over the years has been in programming, planning, and design.

As manager of the Healthcare Studio, his responsibilities include envisioning a direction for each design project, determining its spatial and functional goals, and incorporating them into the design.

His expertise is integrating the functional requirements of the program into a clear and flexible plan. He is an innovative thinker considering how an organization might grow and change over time, and his projects reflect this valuable insight.

An expert listener, Rick values and maintains long-term relationships throughout the healthcare industry. Because clients know that he understands their goals and can bring them to reality, they return to WHL again and again.

Current projects include a new Women’s and Children’s tower for North Oaks Hospital in Hammond and the expansion that will nearly double the size of the Baton Rouge General Medical Center, Bluebonnet.

Today, Rick’s main focus is on the design and development of large scale medical complexes and leading the WHL Healthcare Studio.
