The Center of Excellence in Psilocybin Research and Treatment

Marshall Craft renovated a 7,700 SF space in the Weinberg Building at Sheppard Pratt to create this research facility and innovation lab housed within The Institute for Advanced Diagnostics and Therapeutics. The Center includes four state-of-the-art psychedelic therapy rooms, as well as facilities for research and training.

Biophilic Design principles were incorporated in every aspect of the creation of the Center. The selection of materials, plants, art, the use of color, natural light, and music were thoughtfully executed to improve the patient experience. The program includes an outdoor garden and water fountain providing contemplative respite integral to the outpatient’s therapeutic treatment.

The Center of Excellence in Psilocybin Research and Treatment models the “clinic of the future,” showcasing the best thinking in science, therapy, technology, and design. Working as a research facility and innovation lab, it generates evidence to shape therapy models in mental health care, train and certify therapists, conduct clinical trials including proof-of-concept studies, and prototype digital solutions to improve patient experience.
