A new, 44,300-square-foot outpatient clinic is planned to revitalize a Dallas neighborhood and offer accessible healthcare, according to an article on the Healthcare Construction + Operations website.
The $19.8 million Hatcher Station Village will be operated by the Parkland Health & Hospital System. The facility is set to open in the first quarter of 2015 with a design that will invite the community and expand accessibility to healthcare, the article said.
The facility’s flexible design will allow the space to be used as community and meeting space after hours. Parkland intends to host wellness programs and educational health outreach efforts in the conference and lobby spaces.
“The challenges were to have a space that really brought in the community — a space that had some flexibility built into it so the space could be used for community events,” said Brooks Powell, marketing and communications manager at BOKA Powell architects. “It also needed to be a bold design that could announce that there is new life and investment in the community.”
