Classic brick and stone material and towers with curved metal roofs create a landmark building for Boulder Community Health’s first medical facility in Erie, Colo. The design complements the adjacent commercial district. A terraced and stamped concrete plaza also creates a walkable urban retreat within the community.

The diagnostic and lab suite includes MRI, CT, X-ray, mammography, DEXA, and ultrasound services. Private changing and waiting areas adjacent to each imaging service were designed for a secure and relaxed patient experience.

Employee lab area, procedure room, and exam rooms surround a centrally located staff workstation, which allows staff to have direct supervision of all patient rooms. Striking a balance between supporting patient interaction with staff while maintaining privacy for both parties was integral to the layout of spaces.

A multispecialty suite combined five existing practices (cardiology, family medicine, internal medicine, midwifery, and women’s care) into a single space. Shared check-in/checkout stations, lab, and utility spaces allow for an efficient use of space and staff, while maintaining clear identities for each practice.

Centralized care coordinator workstations for each practice of the multispecialty suite allows for touchdown team meetings and staff-to-staff consultations while maintaining a direct visual connection to exam and procedure rooms. Situated on the perimeter of the building, exam rooms offer bountiful natural light and views of the Rocky Mountains.

The Outpatient Pediatric Rehabilitation Clinic was designed to increase the effectiveness of therapies for children with physical, sensory, motor, language, and cognitive disorders or developmental delays. Materials and finishes including three-dimensional wall tiles, colorful sheet vinyl flooring with serpentine patterns, vivid wall protection panels, and energetic paint schemes were carefully chosen to accept a high level of abuse yet are inviting and playful for young patients.

Each specialized treatment room and gym space in the Outpatient Pediatric Rehabilitation Clinic were designed with a series of heavy-duty in-ceiling hook support systems that can be adapted for various therapy equipment and treatments. Special considerations were given to sound attenuation measures that directly contribute to the success of therapies.
