Mountain Park Health Center is a local non-profit organization, who is “In the Business of Caring” by providing af fordable healthcare to multi-generational, low-come individuals. As an organization they are passionate about showing compassion to their staf f, patients and the surrounding community. Their philosophy of “people heal through medicine and community,” was fulfilled through the following program requirements: 6 “of f-stage” provider rooms which house 36 providers, 10 “of f-stage” nurse sync stations, 40 exam rooms, a large “on-stage” waiting room and large community and training spaces all which have clear wayfinding techniques and circulation. Great at tention to detail was taken towards biophilic design through a new roof struc ture for a rain catchment system, natural lighting throughout the facility due to solar tubes, mimicking nature through angular forms, graphic frac tal pat terns, warm, natural, sustainable materials along with succulent walls and planters. Changes in ceiling heights create surprise and wonder, refuge and comfor t. Wayfinding is delineated by changes in flooring and ceiling, color, and materiality. Appreciation is shown to staf f by using energizing colors, allowing for means of healthy workplace with bike racks, gym, and kitchen. Specialty materials highlight work areas and bring life into the space. Circulation is easy and programmatic for all who occupy the space.
