Progressive AE hired internationally distinguished architect Vlad Torskiy to lead its health care practice.
With master’s degrees in architecture, health care administration, urban design and fine arts from institutions in Ukraine, Israel and the U.S., Torskiy brings a unique skillset and vision to serve the firm’s health care clients.
“Vlad’s leadership in health care design and the scale and complexity of projects he has completed will allow Progressive AE to expand our offerings and benefit both current and future clients,” said Brad Thomas, CEO, Progressive AE. “We are looking forward to learning from each other and adding his experience to our growing firm.”
Torskiy boasts a portfolio of impressive clients in the health care field. Notable projects include the sprawling 1,383,000-square-foot Manazel Medical City in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates; an extremely complex and prominent 1,565,000-square-foot Ohio State Wexner Medical Center modernization; and integrated planning commissions with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to improve care services and integrate facilities across multiple Veterans Integrated Services Networks and states.
He also worked on a variety of children’s hospitals, research hospitals, and assisted living facilities. Regionally, Torskiy led a project in Grand Rapids to improve Spectrum Health’s downtown campus health care operations, medical planning, budgeting, LEAN operations improvements, convert it from a tertiary to quaternary care center, and work on the Butterworth Hospital and Meijer Heart Center reconfiguration. He joined Progressive AE from SmithGroup in Chicago.
