• Designed 43 exam rooms with supporting clinical infrastructure across multiple service lines
• Created specialized children's therapy spaces including indoor gymnasiums, sensory rooms, feeding rooms, and casting areas tailored to pediatric rehabilitation needs
• Planned phased construction to enable early occupancy of primary care areas while therapy spaces were completed
• Integrated community rooms and administrative functions to support Cleveland Clinic's regional presence

TECHNICAL SCOPE

• Primary Care & Express Care Clinics with full clinical support
• Children's Therapy: gymnasiums, sensory rooms, feeding rooms, speech therapy, casting, specialized equipment
• Blood Laboratory with point-of-care testing capabilities
• 43 exam rooms with nurse stations, clean/soiled rooms, medication storage
• Community meeting spaces and administrative wing

RESULT

Successful transformation of big-box retail into a comprehensive healthcare campus serving multiple community needs. The facility became Cleveland Clinic's regional hub for pediatric therapy services in Summit County.
