Within the “Main Street” retail concept, departments with the highest volumes are relocated closest to public entrances and all relocated clinic services can still be located by direct visual access and coordinated colors for optimized wayfinding. Remodeled departments include dental, pharmacy, family/women’s health, allergy/immunization, laboratory, radiology, pediatrics, optometry, logistics/facilities, records, command/management, flight medical / base medical, environmental monitoring, mechanical/electrical rooms, education/training, and systems. In order to ensure that operations remained uninterrupted throughout construction of the medical clinic, HFG designed 2 highly complicated Temporary Phasing Facilities (TPFs). Each TPF was approximately 10,000 SF and accommodated different departments during a total of four phases.
HFG also designed a 1,100 SF Ambulance Garage Addition and a new, 4,500 SF Veterinary Clinic for military dogs and companion animals. The Veterinary Clinic was fully sprinklered and constructed with concrete masonry units (CMUs). It features two treatment rooms, one surgery room, one prep/post-operative room, a lobby, and administrative offices. Specifications were created in compliance with NFPA 150, which is specific to animal shelters and veterinary clinics. The clinic’s layout was designed to separate companion animals from military working dogs and includes separate entrances for each group. The public entrance is flanked with windscreens consisting of painted powder coat finished metal panels that are laser cut with the silhouettes of working dogs.
