Medical
Dialysis Center
Macon, GA
A new two story, steel framed building with a dialysis center that has 29 dialysis stations on the first floor and houses doctor’s offices on the second floor.
This project overcame many challenges that started with the building’s location. The building is located in one of Downtown Macon’s Historic Districts which meant it had to meet certain historic design parameters. The existing buildings onsite contained hazardous materials that had to be remediated before the buildings were demolished. The Site’s subsurface soil conditions required a special foundation design. Because it is located on a major arterial street in Downtown Macon, the design had to be sensitive to the main facade along the corridor. High performance design elements include the fact that the exterior had to meet the expectations of the clients who are originally from the Mediterranean area of Europe

Individual suites include administration, examination, and laboratory spaces. Its function was to provide for the growth of physicians practicing at The Medical Center.

Inpatient Hospice House, Macon-Bibb County Hospital Authority
Macon, GA
A newly constructed one story, light guage metal framed building that has 15 patient rooms, a spa, nurses stations, a chapel, offices for administration, directors, doctors, counseling, and chaplain.
The primary challenge of this project was fitting it on a donated site adjacent to an office park. The site is more than 18 feet below Peake Road and required a substantial retaining wall to accommodate the necessary vehicular access and parking.
By its very nature, a hospice must be family-friendly while maintaining technical excellence. In spite of the medical nature of the facility, the building has a welcoming atmosphere which allows families to gather in a homestyle setting as loved ones reach the end of their days on earth.
