  Melissa Van Slett

  Melissa serves as Wulff’s Director of Healthcare Design. Creatively analytical by nature; her family often jokes she should have become a lawyer. Instead she employs that skill to bring a sharp focus and thoughtful approach to optimize design solutions for her clients. Over 12 years of experience at every level of the design and construction process gives her a sixth sense for anticipating challenges before they impact a project’s budget or schedule. Staying on top of trends in the healthcare industry enables her and her team to foresee the very different needs of coming generations and their impact on future facility design. Melissa fundamentally believes that design has the potential to not only improve the lives of individuals but also enhance entire communities. This philosophy is evident in the recently completed Edison 64 Veterans Community. Melissa led the multi-year, $10 million adaptive reuse of this historic school into a certified Green Community for veterans. This unique project integrates healthcare and housing services in an innovative way to ensure our nation’s heroes are set up for success upon their return to civilian life. Melissa's favorite things include birthdays, distance running, iced coffee, and her home state of Wisconsin. She is also is a LEED ID+C accredited professional and volunteers regularly with the Community Design Collaborative.
