Health center planned for Brooklyn cultural district

A new health center planned for Brooklyn's cultural district won’t have physicians’ offices or waiting areas; patients will check in at kiosks and go directly to an exam room, according to an article on the Healthcare Design website. The mixed-use building will have a teardrop form that follows its triangular site. Fritted glass and 10-inch projecting metal fins provide privacy for patients inside and reduce heat gain, the article said.
Effective defend-in-place strategies depend on compartmentation, fire-rated assemblies and ongoing staff training to protect patients who cannot quickly evacuate.
Located at One Center Square, in downtown Allentown, the campus will include more than 54,000 square feet of newly constructed medical education space.
