Adamsville Regional Health Center
Intentions
This 34,000-square-foot
regional health facility located in an under-served neighborhood in southwest
Atlanta combines under one roof a primary care clinic, a behavioral health
clinic, childcare facilities, a dental clinic and a workforce community center.
In doing so, it projects a holistic idea of wellness and a positive self-image
for a challenged community. The building is also meant as a catalyst for future
growth in the area.
We wanted to create a
structure that feels vibrant and alive. The roof was conceived as a dynamic,
protective element, a metaphoric blanket, opening upward to welcome in the
public. A standing-seam clamp folds over the roof to house mechanical
equipment, identify major entries and serve as a beacon. Inside, a
decentralized, double-height circulation lobby further integrates all the
programmatic components.
This design-build, fast-track
project will be completed, from start to finish, in 275 days.
Inspirations and Execution
The notion of co-locating all
these functions in a single facility to serve people of varied backgrounds led
us to consider the communal folk art of quilting, in particular its social and
aesthetic traditions in the African-American community. Equally exciting were
the collaged paintings of Atlanta artist Radcliff Bailey, who pieces together
found objects, archival photographs and historic imagery with jazz-like
effects. These inspirations led to our studying how the building’s exterior materials
could reflect the arrhythmic yet unified patterns of both quilting and
improvisational music.
We had to work with multiple
stakeholders, including the city, county and community members, for example
convincing all that the support and staff spaces could be successfully shared
between the various services, maximizing the building’s efficiency. We are
especially proud of our ability to design, detail and build such a
sophisticated and elegant building under harsh economic and schedule
constraints.
