With offices in three neighborhoods and a separate therapy/gymnasium space in another town, Pain and Rehabilitative Consultants Medical Group (PRCMG) wanted to consolidate all of its operations under one roof in Emeryville, Calif., according to an article and photo gallery on the Healthcare Design magazine website.
Kava Massih Architects of Berkeley, Calif. was hired to transform a brick-and-wood-framed warehouse, which last served as office space, into a 16,500-square-foot outpatient clinic that could accommodate 27 exam rooms, private doctor offices, open-office staff space, an exercise/therapy room, and classrooms.
The building’s original brick walls and wood roof structure were exposed, and existing windows and skylights were utilized to bring in natural light, the article said. A floating blue soffit stretches from the entry through the waiting area and into the exam suites and provides a wayfinding marker for patients.
The $1.8 million project was completed in March 2012 and occupied by April.
