New Medical Office Building
The project: This 144,000-sf state-of-the-art medical office building and ambulatory surgical center is the result of a strategic partnership between a major hospital system and a leading private orthopedic practice group. The three-story facility combines clinical, surgical, and administrative functions under one roof to deliver high-quality outpatient orthopedic care and is designed to accommodate future expansion.
The goal: The project aimed to create a modern, flexible healthcare environment capable of supporting advanced orthopedic procedures while fostering operational efficiency and patient-centered care. A key priority was ensuring that the facility would meet current medical demands and remain adaptable to evolving clinical and technological needs.
The design: The facility includes a fully equipped operating room, two procedure rooms, 13 universal prep/recovery rooms, and a dedicated sterile processing department—all organized within a flexible layout that supports future growth.
The building is constructed using concrete tilt-up wall panels with a variety of exterior finishes, including precast architectural panels, metal panels, and storefront glazing. The structural system features composite floor slabs supported by a structural steel frame, with tilt-up wall panels serving as perimeter bearing walls.
Challenge: A significant design challenge was managing the site’s substantial grade change. Solution: To address this, the perimeter wall panels were engineered to act as both retaining walls and key lateral support elements for the building’s structural stability.
The outcome: The project delivered a high-performance outpatient surgical center and medical office building that blends architectural sophistication with structural ingenuity. The collaborative effort between health system and private practice resulted in a facility poised for long-term success, both clinically and operationally. The adaptable footprint and thoughtful engineering solutions ensured resilience to site challenges and future healthcare demands.
