Evergreen Family Medicine
Location: Roseburg, OR | Completion Date: 2005
The Evergreen Family Medicine Center was designed to consolidate all of the company’s 75+ medical practitioners and lab personnel throughout the Roseburg area. The new 38,000 sf facility supports close collaboration among practitioners and provides easier access for patients. The extensive use of daylighting admits an abundance of natural light from many sources, creating the tranquil and healing environment sought by this family-oriented medical group.
The building was designed to reflect the vision of the medical group, which was “a system of care.” The group had been scattered among various offices and wanted to create a clinic that would offer patients all the services they could provide in one location. This vision was realized by grouping the high-volume uses on the first floor: the urgent care, laboratory services, and radiology departments. On the second floor, the doctors’ areas are arranged in ‘pods’ of offices, exam rooms and nurses’ stations. This arrangement contributes to efficiency and good communication between the doctors and patients.
This project features a series of glass panels by artist Annah James in soffits above the reception areas. The addition of art in the public areas makes the building very inviting and healing to the users.
