Location: Marshalltown, IA
Completion Date: May 15, 2002
Project Size: 67,000 sq. ft.
Abstract: With the completion of Phase Three of this project, nearly fifty medical providers in Marshalltown were brought together in a single facility. Phase One and Three were remodeling phases, each consisting of about 12,000 square feet of existing medical office building. Phase Two was a major addition of nearly 55,000 square feet. Included with the new facility is the only pedestrian skywalk in town, connecting the medical office building to Marshalltown Medical & Surgical Center across Main Street. The facility includes suite type departments for specialty physicians with common support and administrative functions. A full medical laboratory and radiology department provide diagnostic support to physicians.

All phases of the project were completed while patients continued to utilize the existing facility, requiring careful coordination and staging of the limited site that was available for construction. Existing private and public utilities were relocated as an existing public street was vacated for the addition.

Project Size: 26,000 sq. ft.
Abstract: This addition provides over 26,000 square feet of new medical office space, remodeling of existing entry and elevator lobby, and an exterior facelift for the existing Medical Arts Building. McFarland Clinic operates clinical departments on the upper two floors. The lower level contains the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation services for Mary Greeley Medical Center. Included in the lower level department is a 24’ x 24’ therapy pool and adjacent locker and shower facilities for patients. A covered canopy connecting patient traffic to the hospital parking ramp was constructed to the west.

Extremely tight site conditions required extensive coordination and communication efforts by all parties involved. Public streets bound the site on three sides and the existing parking and entrance are on the fourth. During construction a temporary entrance was constructed in order to maintain medical office operations of the existing tenants.

Exterior materials of brick, glass and metal panels were utilized to convey an image of solidity while striving to be sympathetic to nearby residential neighborhoods. The structure consists of concrete spread footings and foundation walls, steel columns and beams with pre-cast concrete core deck floors. The roof consists of steel bar joist and metal deck with a modified bitumen built-up membrane as requested by the Owner.

Project Size: 40,000 sq. ft.
Abstract: This project involved the adaptive reuse of an existing grocery store into a multi-specialty medical clinic. The project consisted of two phases comprising nearly 40,000 square feet.

The interior construction of the original building was totally demolished including mechanical and electrical systems. Interior construction is new throughout. Suite-type specialty departments and a health club share a common lobby. A full range of medical services are provided including a new Open MRI diagnostic imaging suite used in conjunction with the Sports Medicine department. Retail areas for pharmacy and eye wear are included to support the specialty physicians.

The clinic remained fully operational during the second phase of the project during which an additional 12,000 square feet was added and 6,000 square feet of the original project was remodeled due to program changes for the client.

Project Size: 11,300 sq. ft.
Abstract: This new 11,300 square foot inpatient hospice facility in Ames, Iowa consists of 12 inpatient rooms for the care of terminally ill patients. Support space for physicians and nursing staff is provided along with administrative space for the Homeward Hospice program. A major portion of the building is reserved for spaces for families and friends of patients to gather. Both patient corridors end in a small seating alcove and a larger family room with seating areas and replaces. The main entry contains a larger seating area and an adjacent chapel for family use.

Mary Greeley Medical Center wished to provide a comforting environment for patients and families with home-like gathering spaces for personal interaction. It was important to the Hospice Board that interior spaces were developed to avoid the institutional feeling of a traditional hospital. The facility is constructed as a traditional institutional building in order to meet the stringent code requirements of a hospital occupancy.
