When the Genesis Health Group embarked on a journey to build a new medical facility from the ground up, they took advantage of the opportunity to dramatically reimagine their workplace. Using LEAN design methodology, they were able to provide an even more enhanced and supportive environment for patients and their families.
The facility design also had to fit into the surrounding office park in terms of aesthetics and use of materials. The use of brick, metal wall panels, and glass curtain wall not only tie into the surrounding context, but also create visual impact, scale, and texture to mitigate the mass of what is essentially a “big box”. In addition the glass curtain wall and storefront windows allow natural daylight to penetrate deep into the building.

Designed to meet the medical needs of the Wabash County community in collaboration with the Wabash General Hospital, the Medical Office Building offers a home for Rural Health, Pediatrics, and Specialty Providers, all under one roof.
Passavant Area Hospital is a 168-bed community hospital serving five counties. The hospital campus, approximately 328,000 s.f., underwent a thorough master planning process. The effort included an evaluation of the existing facilities regarding the need for additional space, code compliance, space utilization, infrastructure, modernization, and general patient flow. Schematic design included a new Emergency Care Center, surgery addition, remodeling of the Radiology Department, Lab Department, existing OR suite, and Cardio-pulmonary Department, and upgrade of site utilities.
The new two-story 43,000 s.f. Davenport Healthplex is designed to reflect the Genesis values and streamline and enhance the patient experience by reducing wait times and providing convenient care. The facility contains over 35 same-handed, right sized exam and procedure rooms and is designed using LEAN design methodology and delivered within an aggressive schedule and construction budget.
