Commend Nurses Station

Overview

Commend Nurses Station combines the beauty of millwork with the benefits of prefab. It is a modular, versatile nurses station from Herman Miller Healthcare that brings clarity and order to care team environments through a refined, repeatable aesthetic.

Construction

The modular frame has a large cavity for power and data, with seamless wire routing and under-surface cable management. Corner protectors are integrated into the frame, a toe kick protects the base, and a tackable fabric panel lets care teams display personal items and team information.

Specifications

Commend is a modular system assembled from structure, supports, cladding, toe kick and work surfaces.

Prefab designed after observing care teams

Herman Miller began the Commend design by observing care teams at work and found excessive wear on millwork nurses stations. The answer was a prefab nurses station that stays dependable, repeatable and scalable across facilities while keeping the aesthetic expressiveness of millwork. Its design is sleek and linear, a set of building blocks for different team spaces.

Power, protection and boundaries

An extra-large frame cavity carries high-capacity power and data, with interior cladding that gives access for cable routing. Corner protectors and toe kicks guard the most common impact sites, and boundary options range from an approach peninsula for families to a counter-height boundary topped with surface-to-ceiling glass for private focus.
