Framing the Future DESIGNING PEOPLE-FOCUSED SPACES WITH PRECISION AND INNOVATION The following featured projects reflect the depth and diversity of our team’s experience in designing environments that serve people at every stage of life. From senior living communities that support aging with dignity, to faith-based spaces that inspire connection and worship, to educational facilities that empower the next generation—we are committed to creating environments that foster belonging, purpose, and community.

Medical spaces are among the most technically demanding environments in healthcare design. From lead-lined walls and reinforced ceiling structures to intuitive layouts, specialty lighting, and calming finishes, we transform clinical environments into spaces that feel safe, welcoming, and thoughtfully attuned to the needs of both patients and caregivers. At Batson Associates, we embrace these challenges—not only to meet stringent technical and safety requirements but also to enhance functionality and elevate the overall care experience.

This same commitment to intentional, mission-driven design carries through all of our work. In senior living, we create communities that support wellness and connection. In faith-based environments, we design places that uplift and inspire. In educational settings, we craft spaces that nurture learning and growth. Across every project type, our team collaborates closely with clients to deliver thoughtful, tailored solutions—ensuring every space we design truly serves.

Proactive MD

Mauldin, South Carolina

PRO J E C T DE TA I L S

Proactive MD wished to create a non-traditional environment to set their facility apart from other medical offices. The exam rooms are divided into two sides: a consult side where the patient and physician can speak in a more conversational setting, and the exam side where the clinical portions of visits would occur.

Dates Services Performed: 2019-2020

Batson worked to renovate former office spaces into Proactive MD’s pilot medical facility. The 4,560 SF space was originally divided amongst three suites in a strip shopping center. The three suites were combined into one larger suite, allowing for open and efficient circulation. The original covered entrance to one of the suites was enclosed to create a Community Learning Center, where health and overall well-being could be taught. The centerpiece of the space is the Staff Core, where nurses and medical assistants work behind 12-foot-tall glass walls and sliding doors to demonstrate the transparency of their approach to healthcare. The use of interior storefront in most spaces was essential to the project in achieving this goal.

Presbyterian Village Athens Athens, Georgia

The state of Georgia’s first new Life Plan retirement community takes a holistic philosophy that guides every aspect of life and living at Presbyterian Village Athens. At the center of their philosophy is the concept of connection. When engaged to design facilities for this new community, Batson’s design approach embraced the idea of holistic and connected living.

Thoughtful study was given to the location and orientation of facilities within the 72-acre campus.

The Village Center, 100-room Health Services Pavilion and 100 Independent Living Apartments were all located to promote connection and engagement in every activity throughout a diverse offering of amenities.

The centerpiece of the connected campus is the 186,500 SF Village Center and Health Services Center.

Roper Mountain Science Center Treehouse Greenville, South Carolina

The “Treetop Clinic” was designed and constructed by Batson Associates and Triangle Construction for the Roper Mountain Science Center’s Out on a Limb Tree-house competition.

The structure serves as an environmental science exploration center for after-school programs, summer camp groups, and RMSC visitors.

Three distinct spaces that drive the form of the tree-house: the Rainwater Platform, Solar Deck, and Meadow Overlook. The Rainwater Platform illustrates the water cycle and includes rain barrels that release water to nearby planted areas. The Solar Deck provides opportunities for lessons on the solar cycle with potential strong shadows illustrating Cardinal Points. The Meadow Overlook allows a promontory with views of the butterfly garden and nearby native plantings.

The tree-house was designated the President’s Choice as voted by the Roper Mountain Science Center Board of Directors.
