Maryland system repurposed office space into flexible healthcare facility

Converted 20,000-square-foot space was designed for holistic care


Maryland-based MedStar Health repurposed a corporate office building to expand its brain and spine services into Chevy Chase, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.

The design emphasizes a holistic team approach that could include neurologists, neurosurgeons, physical therapists, nurses, psychologists and dietitians.

The 20,000-square-foot center incorporated adaptable yet standardized features so that services could accommodate daily peak flows and new services as the market demanded.

The design model included an estimated 20 percent reduction in square footage per exam room. This allowed the architects to design a more flexible space that would accommodate the shifting of services.
