As part of the development of Parkers new
master plan, Tobin | Parnes re-designed the Executive Offices, Admissions and
Human Resources Departments. Formerly disparate departments were re-organized
for efficiency, and additional conference rooms and other support areas were
added. The board room was designed for maximum flexibility during meetings,
seminars and other events. The interior finishes, textures, colors and multiple
lighting sources convey a level of sophistication and attention to detail - all
of which support Parker’s mission of providing culturally enriched environments
for their residents, as well as their staff.
A central corridor and strategically placed
water feature act as a primary transition from the main lobby entry to all of the
new departments. Clearly defined floor and ceiling details work together to
create an inherent way-finding system. Direct and indirect lighting enhance
wood wall details, a convenient seating area and help guide the eye through the
space.
The interior environment and ambiance reflect
PJI’s tenets of a humanistic mission, promoting wellness, modern health care
design principles and ongoing evidence based research. The CEO / President’s office is adjacent to
the new board room and functions as a smaller scale area for meetings and
discussions. The lighting, detailing and finish selections represent the
continuation of the overall design scheme.
