Project
Description:
The
design of the facility is based on a “distributed
waiting area” approach that pivots around
a central core where circulation patterns are readily
apparent and patients can be monitored. Patients
and their families enter the building into a three
story atrium with a spacious reception/ waiting
area. The central core waiting area activities
include billing, appointments, routing and consultation.
Clinical Departments grouped around the core contain
their own waiting areas and are identified by color
coded graphic signage that reinforces circulation
routes.
The Health Center will house; OB/GYN, Pediatrics, Adult Medicine, Laboratory,
Dental, Administrative Staff, Physicians and Social Services Offices.
