Medical Office Buildings
© 2026 Cooper Carry
Cooper Carry Since 1960, Cooper Carry has believed that great design happens through connection. Our multidisciplinary approach brings together people, place, process, and performance to create environments that are meaningful, enduring, and greater than the sum of their parts. Inspired by our founder, Jerry Cooper, we approach every project with curiosity, listening first and asking the right questions to understand our clients, their goals, and the communities they serve. By connecting the right expertise and perspectives, we create thoughtful solutions that strengthen communities, enrich experiences, and bring our clients’ visions to life.
Connection by Design.
One ecosystem. Many perspectives. Greater possibilities.
Mixed-Use Ecosystem We don’t work in silos. Cooper Carry’s mixed-use ecosystem brings together specialized studios and design services within one integrated practice. Our teams can draw on expertise across the firm, connecting the right people and disciplines at the right time to meet each project’s unique needs. This approach is especially powerful as traditional boundaries between building types continue to blur. Hospitality influences residential. Workplace informs mixed-use. Branding and experiential design shape how people understand and navigate place. Planning connects individual buildings to neighborhoods and communities. Rather than applying a singular design style, we begin by listening. We seek to understand our client’s vision, the market, the context, and the people who will ultimately experience the place. The result is design shaped specifically for its purpose and strengthened by the perspectives that come together to create it.
Medical Office Building Experience The modern healthcare landscape requires specialized facilities. Diagnostic, preventive, and elective care are increasingly accommodated in community-focused Medical Office Buildings (MOBs). This shift necessitates flexible designs that can support a diverse range of medical practices, from urgent care to specialized surgical centers. At Cooper Carry, our architects have a deep understanding of these unique demands. We create environments that not only facilitate efficient healthcare delivery but also enhance the patient experience and attract top-tier tenants.
Designing for Today’s Medical Office Needs.

Interior Design
Understanding the patient journey is essential. We design efficient parking structures with seamless, direct access to office floors, alongside dedicated zones for ambulances, drop-offs, and couriers. We prioritize the patient and visitor experience, recognizing that many encounters with medical facilities are infrequent.
Advanced building systems. Our designs include specialized HVAC solutions for surgical suites and necessary shielding for imaging facilities, addressing the precise technical requirements of modern medicine.
Our design team prioritizes optimized medical layouts. We develop interiors tailored for healthcare, featuring specialized ceiling heights, wide and accessible corridors, and integrated infrastructure for advanced medical equipment and systems.
Adaptability for Future healthcare. We incorporate features such as spaces for medical training and telemedicine to ensure that facilities can evolve with changing healthcare practices and technological advancements.

Reframing the Experience: From 1980s Office Park to Wellness-Focused Campus.
The Commons at Lake Hearn
The Commons at Lake Hearn BUILDINGS, ATLAN TA , G A
The Commons at Lake Hearn demonstrates Cooper Carry’s expertise in repositioning outdated medical office parks. This three-building campus, originally constructed in 1980, was revitalized from a low lease rate of 30% into a thriving, modern healthcare destination in Atlanta’s “Pill Hill.”

BEFORE
Striking Exterior and Arrival. We revitalized the facade with distinctive, illuminated architectural frames and delivered a new 300,000 square-foot parking deck with 1,363 spaces, creating an engaging and efficient arrival experience.
Enhanced Outdoor Amenities. Nearly 2 acres of beautifully landscaped green space now feature Wi-Fi-enabled seating, rain gardens, and covered walkways, extending the wellness theme outdoors.
As the needs of patients and tenants continue to change, The Commons at Lake Hearn provides an enhanced in-person experience that is key to retaining existing tenants, as well as attracting new, nationally recognized healthcare professionals. Scott Martin, Senior VP SK Commercial Realty
BEFORE
Modernized and Welcoming Interiors. We transformed lobbies into collaborative spaces featuring biophilic design elements. The conference facilities were overhauled with flexible technology, and “The Grille” cafe was introduced, providing convenient on-campus dining options. BEFORE
