Regional One Health - Outpatient Lobby
The new entry sequence transforms the outdated interior environment of the outpatient facility into a vibrant space pierced by daylight and views to the exterior. The design was liberated from the standard applications of hospital finishes and given the opportunity to reinforce the rebranding of the facility. A wood ceiling greets visitors upon entry and defines a significant intersection for both visitors and staff. The guest services desk is located at a pivotal juncture to enhance wayfinding and facilitate a controlled access point. The east facing glass wall allows earlier morning light to reach deep into the space. Informal resting areas are defined by inlaid carpet, while the more natural and organic seating elements slide in and out of these prescribed zones. In a subsequent phase, a small courtyard, was the catalyst for the inception of this project. Oak benches in both the Lobby Corridor and the adjacent existing courtyard create a dialogue between the two nodes of rest and reflection.
