IN MEMORIAM: WALTER JONES OF
METROHEALTH, PARKLAND
Walter B. Jones Jr. at the 2023 HCD Forum with his wife, Jan (second from

Care (left) and Esperanza Harper of LS3P (right).
ARCHITECT WALTER B. JONES JR. of Middleburg Heights, Ohio, passed
away on Dec. 5, 2023, at the age of 69 after a battle with cancer.
Throughout his three-plus decades as an architect and project manager,
Jones led several major projects at healthcare organizations, championing
new strategies and leaving a lasting impact on the healthcare design
industry. Most recently, in 2014, he was hired as senior vice president of
campus transformation at Cleveland's The MetroHealth System. In that
role, he led the design, construction, and opening of The Glick Center. The
800,000-square-foot hospital anchors a $1 billion investment in the urban
healthcare campus and community it serves.
Completed in October 2022, The Glick Center uses a process-neutral concept
that Jones developed, which aimed to deliver a building with few spaces
designed for a specific department or task. The approach allows for flexibility
to shift space assignments based on volume and care needs as frequently as
desired. The project was completed in October 2022. Jones retired at the end
of 2022 but returned to MetroHealth in February 2023 as interim senior vice
president/facilities, construction, and campus transformation.
Prior to working at MetroHealth, Jones led the design and construction
of the $1.3 billion, 2.1 million-square-foot Parkland Hospital in Dallas, then
the largest hospital construction project in North America. His career also
included working at Howell, Rusk, Dodson Architects (Atlanta) as an associate,
where he oversaw projects for Atlanta's Grady Memorial Hospital
and Northside Hospital Women's Center.
A graduate of Clemson University, where he earned his master's degree
in architecture, Jones was a founding member of Healthcare Design magazine's
Editorial Advisory Board. He earned multiple certifications during
his career, and last February, the American Institute of Architects (AIA)
elevated him to its College of Fellows, the highest honor given to only 3 percent
of AIA member-architects.
Jones is survived by his wife, Jan, and children, Amber N.; Walter B., III;
and Evan D.-Anne DiNardo, editor-in-chief
