COOPER CARRY
Since 1960, Cooper Carry has been dedicated to designing spaces that connect people to place. Inspired by our founder, Jerry Cooper, we approach every project with curiosity—asking the right questions to uncover the best solutions for our clients and the communities they serve. Our leadership team consists of both advocates and experts, empowered by decades of experience to shape environments that prioritize placemaking, civic space, and the well-being of communities, tenants, residents, and visitors.
Cooper Carry’s Mixed-Use Ecosystem
Ecosystems bring many diverse contributors together to create something far beyond the capacity of one. They create and capture new and greater value. At Cooper Carry, we approach our work as a collaborative ecosystem. We have multiple studios and services that mix and match daily to provide each project the depth of expertise it needs to meet business objectives. Our breadth of experience goes far beyond broad building types. We offer a deeper level of expertise, engaging in more possibilities and offering more creative solutions. The mixed-use ecosystem allows us to help our clients create the platform on which tenants and target audiences can flourish.

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.

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.

BUILDINGS, ATLANTA, GA
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.”

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.

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
