We are honored to have been invited to submit our proposal for UW Health’s John Wall Drive Renovation Project. Plunkett Raysich Architects, LLP (PRA) brings a wealth of experience in healthcare to the table, boasting an impressive 90-year history marked by the successful design and construction of numerous facilities, including many renovations and additions and past project experience with UW Health. Our approach prioritizes maintaining facility operations seamlessly during the design and construction phases, without disruptions or impositions to your facilities and the patients you serve. We are also proud of our ability to consistently meet targeted timelines at, or below budget, which are critical factors in a project’s success.
In the enclosed qualifications packet, you will find evidence of our proficiency in designing additions, renovations, and ground-up new construction of clinical spaces and facilities. You have the assurance that our team of architects and engineers are well equipped to guide UWH in realizing its vision and project goals. We can also guarantee that our team has the dedication and follow-through to carry projects successfully through the project approval process.
Our understanding of the project scope requires us to provide architectural, interior design, and MEP/FP services to renovate your John Wall Drive Facility to convert an existing space into an Exam/Phlebotomy Room, along with converting additional spaces into office workrooms.
At PRA, every facility project is seen as an opportunity to shape the future. Our objective is to create a built environment that offers optimal experiences for all users, aligning seamlessly with the goals of UWH. In pursuit of this, we assemble a highly effective and collaborative team, aiming to establish a transformative and lasting relationship with UWH and all project stakeholders. Our pride is rooted in our ability to work cohesively, ensuring our process incorporates three key steps for success:
LISTEN - We actively listen to UWH to comprehend its values and goals for the project.
LEARN - We absorb insights from UWH regarding the current and future operations of their facilities.
LEAD - Finally, we lead UWH through a collaborative process, integrating our understanding, experience, and innovation to craft optimal solutions aligned with its goals.
The project’s journey, and aiming to achieve UWH’s goals through an engaging, thought-provoking, and streamlined process, is paramount. Successful navigation of this process hinges on excellent collaboration and a cohesive relationship among all involved parties. We firmly believe that we are the right team, armed with knowledge, chemistry, and innovation, to ensure the project’s success. We are excited and motivated by this project and would be thrilled to further discuss our potential to create a great team together!

Aspirus: Iron River Clinic
UW HEALTH – UNION CORNERS CLINIC
MADISON, WI
SCOPE New ground up construction of a 60,000 SF clinical facility.
COMPLETION 2016
OWNER UW Health - University of Wisconsin Medical Foundation | 7974 UW Health Court, Madison, WI 53562
The new 2-story, 60,000 sq. ft. clinic for UW Health includes space for General Internal Medicine, OB/GYN, Pediatrics, lab and imaging services, Urgent Care and a pharmacy. The design of the building supports an efficient flow of patients and staff through an on stage/ off stage design in the exam areas. There are two doors to each exam room, one for the patient to enter and one for the staff to use. The staff door leads to a central work area for care providers, with access to medications and support functions. This design allows the physician and nursing staff to remain in close proximity to the patients while also fostering collaboration and communication among the staff.
The clinic is designed to replace the traditional multi-station check-in counters in each clinic with self service kiosks. Because of this, sightlines and patient circulation have been designed to simplify wayfinding. The building is also located along a busy thoroughfare in downtown Madison, thus requiring entrances on opposite sides of the building and a central circulation “spine.” The project is slated to achieve LEED Certification through the use of local and recycled materials, energy efficiency, irrigation-free landscaping and several other sustainable design techniques.

PRA was engaged to design a contemporary dermatology clinic in Venice, Florida, for an established medical practice that had outgrown its current facility. The physicians sought a sophisticated design aesthetic that would reflect their high standard of care.
The exterior design harmonizes with the City’s Venetian architectural guidelines, featuring expansive glass façades that promote natural light and wellness throughout. A prominent entrance canopy invites patients into a spacious waiting area, characterized by warm wood tones and a living green wall, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The interior finishes are thoughtfully curated to seamlessly incorporate the doctors’ brand into the architecture.
Functionality was paramount in the design of the new clinic. Dual-entry treatment rooms facilitate efficient movement for staff while ensuring patient privacy. The layout includes dedicated spaces such as Aesthetician rooms, a Numbing Lounge, Treatment Rooms, Exam Rooms, a Laser Room, a Light Treatment Room, a MOHS Lab, provider offices, a large staff workspace, and a generous staff lounge that also serves as a meeting area. This comprehensive design promotes both operational efficiency and a positive patient experience.
FOREST COUNTY – POTAWATOMI CLINIC CRANDON, WI
SCOPE 9,000 sq. ft. renovation/expansion.
COMPLETION 2023
OWNER Greenfire Management Services, LLC | 3215 West State Street, Suite 300, Milwaukee, WI 53202
The Forest County Potawatomi Community sought 9,000 sq. ft. renovation/expansion of their healthcare clinic to better serve their community, and provide better healthcare services for their tribe members. The project areas include the waiting room, reception, workrooms, office, pharmacy, lab, exam rooms, and more.
PRA helped design and program the space to create a welcoming, warm, and efficient healthcare facility. The entrance is a focal point of the renovation. Using the existing facility, the entrance is a dynamic greeting to visitors as it embodies the culture and values of the tribe. The Potawatomi tribe emphasizes respecting nature and using its form in design, so we also focused on how to integrate sustainable tactics into the space, which include natural lighting and selecting environmentally friendly materials.
ORTHOPAEDIC ASSOCIATES OF WAUSAU & WAUSAU SURGERY CENTER
WAUSAU, WI
SCOPE Architectural and interior design services for new 50,000 sq. ft. building
COMPLETION 2022
OWNER Ellis Construction Co. | 3201 Stanley St., Stevens Point, WI. 54481
Orthopaedic Associates of Wausau and Wausau Surgery Center selected PRA to design their new facility after outgrowing their current spaces. These new buildings were designed to be programmatically independent but are connected to allow patients and staff to flow between as needed. The 37,500 SF orthopaedic clinic is organized around clear circulation spines with five treatment pods. The center area includes x-ray imaging and connection to a mobile MRI unit. Staff offices are strung along the south windows and in the lower level. A double-height central Physical Therapy gym features 18 foot tall windows to provide a dramatic space for follow-up care.
The 24,000 SF surgery component has five 600 SF operating rooms able to accommodate abundant equipment for intensive orthopedic procedures. Nearby here are six private pre-op rooms and five post-op bays, and with four flex rooms with private toilet rooms for overnight recovery. The post-op area can be isolated from the rest of the facility when needed to acoustically separate the area when occupied by children. Each OR has individual doors to ensure the separation of clean and soiled items and great care is taken to insure single directional flow of supplies and instruments from use and disinfection to sterilization and storage.
The building mass communicates the patient area with a raised roof that transitions into a large clerestory window that bathes the space in natural light. The staff lounge and conference rooms are positioned to take advantage of the southern exposure and views of the nearby Granite Peak mountains.
ASPIRUS – THIRD STREET CLINIC
WAUSAU, WI
SCOPE Architectural and interior design for design & construction of new 36,000 sq. ft. community clinic
COMPLETION 2021
OWNER Aspirus Health | 333 Pine Ridge Boulevard, Wausau, WI 54401
The Third Street Clinic was designed as a replacement for an existing facility and as a brand flagship for a new model of clinical care for Aspirus. The First Floor services include a Lab, Imaging Suite and Walk-in clinic. Second and Third Floors are dedicated to clinical services and staff amenity spaces.
The Second Floor clinical space contains 2 collaborative hub work areas for 11 providers, with views of all Exam room entry doors. Each Exam room facilitates eye-to-eye interaction between the care team and patient. Procedure Rooms are shared between the 2 pods.
Interior design inspiration came from the surrounding Wausau region, with a focus on locally sourced and natural materials. Rich wood tones are balanced with neutrals and blues, creating a welcoming and inviting atmosphere for patients and staff alike. Interior spaces are generously daylit.
A sustainability focus is woven through the entire design, from the use of long lifespan materials to an innovative geothermal heating and cooling system. The site also graciously accommodates a new bike/pedestrian path, knitting it into downtown Wausau’s urban landscape.

COMPLETION Ongoing
OWNER Fort Memorial Hospital | 611 Sherman Avenue East Fort Atkinson, WI 53538
In 2019, longstanding client Fort HealthCare engaged the PRA team to assist in consolidating various services in satellite clinics to underutilized space within the oldest portions of the existing Fort Memorial Hospital. These include internal medicine, pediatrics, ENT / audiology, and behavioral health, along with various non-clinical departments. A new occupancy separation was added to allow these spaces to be designed for less stringent code requirements.
Food services and dining were relocated to be adjacent to ambulatory services entrance to give it greater prominence as a gathering space for patients, their families, staff, and the community at large. This planning work resulted in a multiphase renovation project, with construction scheduled for completion at the end of 2025.
As part of the renovations, the building exterior will be reclad with brick, metal panels, and storefront glazing to replace the deteriorating and under insulated enclosure, providing a well-sealed and energy efficient envelope, and modernizing this portion of the hospital to complement more recent additions.
