Location: Des Moines, Iowa
Completion Date: November 9, 2015
Project Size: 6,040 sq. ft.
Abstract: United Community Services provides a variety of behavioral health treatment services to clients in the Des Moines, Ankeny and Knoxville, Iowa communities. Their Des Moines office also offers primary care services through their Franklin Family Practice subsidiary.

A primary goal of this project was to provide private offices for counselors. These new offices were constructed in the existing warehouse area at the south end of the building. Wood framed glass transoms and wood doors with glazing help keep the efficiently sized o ces from becoming too confining. Natural finish wood beams and columns, along with polished concrete floors provide a more vibrant look to the space. Additional clinical exam rooms, a centralized nursing and administrative room, director’s office, updated break room and large secondary waiting area that could be put into service as an additional group therapy room are other pieces of the program.
