This project was part of the master plan of the Great Lakes Medical Investment Outpatient Care Center. The design was divided into four components: clinical examination, infusion treatment, administration, and draw lab. The design of the clinical spaces was split between the 1st and 2nd floor where the reception and waiting area was at the 1st floor while the remainder of the function is on the 2nd floor.  The reception and waiting area was designed to hold 42 patients.  In addition to the waiting and reception, area consisted of 19 exam rooms with 2 procedure rooms, MA & MD workstations, staff and patient toilets, soiled room, and staff lounge. The treatment area was located on the 2nd floor direct adjacent to the oncology clinical area. The treatment area consists of 25 infusion seats, 4 express treatment seats, nurse workstations which enable full visibility of all patients at all times, USP 800 compliant cancer treatment pharmacy, minimal infectious does (MID) pharmacy, 2 staff break rooms, staff and patient toilets, soiled room, post-chemo storage, biohazard storage, oxygen tank storage, and supervisors’ offices. The administration area is located on the 1st floor and consist of offices for nurse navigator, palliative care office, new patient coordinator, mid-level practitioners bullpen, doctors bullpen, and an executive conference room.  The draw lab area consisted of a reception and waiting area, 5 blood draws stations, toilet room with pass-thru window, and testing lab.

 During the project, the project schedule, budget, workflow, project parameters and BIM execution plan was established.  Consistent coordination with the client was conducted to ensure high quality design, ensuring client satisfaction. Since this project was design-build, close coordination with the general contractor was conducted to keep the project on budget without compromising design intent. During the life cycle of the project, sustainability was prioritized during material selection, code compliance reviews were performed while implementing USP 800, HIPPA, FGI, and IDPH requirements to the design.
