Shared Solutions
Builder expertise and Varco Pruden engineering come together to turn custom concepts into practical building solutions.
Project Overview
Expanding outpatient services required balancing patient comfort with operational efficiency and future flexibility. The facility needed to support a wide range of medical functions within a cohesive layout.
Through coordinated design and adaptable structural systems, the team delivered a space that supports care delivery while allowing for future expansion. The result is a patient-focused environment that improves flow, comfort and long-term usability.

Designed around the patient experience
In healthcare settings, the way a space feels can matter just as much as how it functions.
For this outpatient expansion, the goal was to create an environment that supports both. Patients needed a setting that felt calm and accessible, while staff required a layout that allowed them to work efficiently throughout the day.
Working with Brett Construction Co., a Varco Pruden™ Builder, the project team developed an 8,305-square-foot facility that brings those priorities together.
The layout includes a large waiting area, multiple exam rooms, consult spaces and dedicated areas for procedures and lab work. Support spaces such as nurse stations, supply rooms and staff areas are positioned to keep workflows connected and reduce unnecessary movement.
Flexibility played a central role in how the building was structured. By using rigid frame and Continuous Beam systems, the design allows interior spaces to be arranged and adjusted without being constrained by the structure. This creates room for future expansion, ensuring that the facility can evolve alongside patient needs.
Bringing light and comfort into the space
Beyond layout, the building’s design focuses on how people experience the space.
A protruding front wing introduces natural light into the waiting area from three sides, creating a more open and comfortable environment for patients. This approach reduces reliance on artificial lighting while improving visibility and atmosphere.
At the entrance, a covered porch provides a sheltered transition into the building. It offers protection from the elements while creating a clear point of arrival.
The exterior combines fiber cement panels with stone, giving the building a grounded, approachable presence that aligns with its purpose. It’s a design that supports the experience without relying on excess.
Completed in July 2013, the facility reflects a coordinated effort to balance function, flexibility and comfort.
For the project team, the result is a building that supports care delivery today while remaining ready for what comes next.
