Health Center

Location: Richmond, VA

McAfee³ provided on-going design services for a six story health center with sub-level parking provisions. The center caters to both in-patient and out-patient facilities. The building is proposed to blend architecturally with the historic neighborhood. The 140,000 sq. ft. building was designed to house the City’s Health department on three of the six floors. The facility was to include consultation rooms, doctors’ lounges, physician offices, X-ray and laboratory, examination rooms, Nursing, Health Education, Office of Minority Health, Environmental Health, and the Health Department.

Space and financial restrictions demanded frugal use of space, and the client’s request that the design provide an atmosphere compatible for casual or formal occasions, demanded an orderly, sensitive approach to arrangement and material selection.

The solution was based on the concept of creating indoor and outdoor living with the use of extensive glass areas and controlled views.

The contents in this report focused on problem-solving within the Lincoln Redevelopment area of Kansas City. Although the problems that affected residents in the Lincoln area were similar to other inner cities (including poor housing, crime and unemployment) the mechanism employed to effectively and systematically deal with problems were unique.

This 100 room modular hotel is located adjacent to Wichita State University Campus. This 4 story structure houses a small restaurant a swimming pool and meeting rooms. The total development cost for this project is $7 million dollars. By building within the controlled environment of a factory and shipping “rooms” to a site we get higher quality and greater volume while saving 10 to 30 percent over traditional stick construction. Connecting toe standard modules together, it creates 480-to-600 SF guestrooms with better sound and temperature qualities than typical stick buildings.

Services included all aspects of the project: site utilization studies, master planning, building design, interior design, ADA requirements, lighting, mechanical , and electrical. Chisolm Community Assisted Care Complex provides assisted care for people who are ambulatory but unable to provide their own total care due to age and/or medical considerations.

The facility consists of individual, factory built, modular living units that are bolted together and completed with an office area, laundry, kitchen lounge, and dining area. The individual living modules come complete with a bedroom, living room, bathroom, and their own heating and cooling. The structure is of wood frame. the entire complex is on one level and includes a covered entrance, a wood deck at the back, and a gazebo.

The project was built on the site of a former low income housing development and involved the use of the existing street and utility structures wherever possible. The scope of work performed by for this project included preliminary research, programming, schematic design studies, preliminary plans, preparation of construction documents, including drawings and specifications, cost estimates, construction administration, and computer generated 3D renderings.
