Built for Wellness

As the first phase of a broader health and wellness campus, this outpatient-focused space was envisioned to create an uplifting, healing environment while advancing community-centered care. The design reflects a systems-based approach grounded in convenience, cost-effectiveness, lean planning, sustainability and the thoughtful integration of clinical areas — all centered on improving the patient’s experience.

Wells supported the design team to implement a prefabricated facade system aligned with Florida’s rigorous performance requirements. The exterior envelope was engineered to support energy efficiency and resilience against hurricane-force winds, reinforcing long-term durability in a demanding climate. Through off-site construction and coordinated detailing, Wells helped streamline installation while maintaining architectural clarity.

The facade introduces a distinctive, flowing basket-weave pattern that carries from exterior to interior surfaces, creating visual continuity and a sense of movement throughout the space. This dimensional expression demonstrates how prefabrication can support both performance and design ambition — delivering refined aesthetics alongside measurable resilience.

Spanning four stories and approximately 93,000 sq ft, the space is organized to promote intuitive patient flow. Phase I includes a 16-bed emergency department, 12-bed observation unit, urgent care, imaging, outpatient surgery center and medical office areas. Planning for future growth was integrated from the outset, with adjacent space positioned to allow a rapid, cost-conscious expansion of the emergency department when needed. Separate entrances further enhance efficiency by distinguishing emergent and outpatient access points.

Through early collaboration, disciplined engineering and an integrated building approach, Wells delivered a resilient healthcare space designed to evolve with community needs — supporting wellness today while preparing for tomorrow.
