THE SHARED VISION:
The clinic faces the challenge of preserving the
life values of small town America and the legacy
of the family physician as the Twin Cities metropolitan
area encroaches upon the community of New Prague.
The project gives the clinic the visual community
presence, technological updates and growth potential
to meet the challenge.
THE INNOVATIVE DESIGN: The design
accentuates the advantages of a small scale practice
while accommodating necessary competitive services
and growth potential. The patients’ experience
is stressed with the convenient, easily accessible
entrance, visual and acoustic privacy at the registration
desks and a bright lounge located within 50 ft.
of all patient care areas.
