SOUTH OF MARKET HEALTH CENTER

SAN FRANCISCO, CA

South of Market Health Center (SMHC) is a nonprofi t community clinic providing quality healthcare to under-served members of this San Francisco neighborhood. Accepting the position of Executive Director in 1990, Charles Range has led SMHC with the philosophy that all people deserve the same high level of health care. With the support of key community stakeholders, Mr. Range set his vision to construct a new community clinic that elevates the health care delivery experience for all: patient, caregiver and staff member. The state-of-the-art medical center has allowed SMHC to double the number of patients it serves and meet the growing demand for primary and family health services. The new 20,000 sf space includes a full-service patient and community pharmacy, and treatment spaces for primary care, women’s and children’s services, health education, podiatry, and urgent care.

Working in association with Daniel Solomon Design Partners, Polytech Associates helped coordinate complex site issues that included a high water table and contaminated water. We also developed massing studies for the clinic, and aided in materials selection for the exterior.

The design program combines modern, clean lines with a light color palette, rich textures, and an open space plan that allows natural light to punctuate the space. Each of these design elements was carefully selected, and lend an element of comfort and calm to the building. The open plan allows SMHC the fl exibility to increase the number of patients and services they provide.

PROJECT REPORT

SAN FRANCISCO, CA

A major healthcare delivery organization selected Polytech Associates to provide programming and schematic design services for a new 189,540 sf medical offi ce building and parking garage in San Francisco, CA. The developer-owned site was divided through a lot-split, in which the healthcare delivery organization obtained one parcel, and the developer retained the other parcel, to be developed into condominiums.

Polytech’s scope of work included development of a site plan, massing studies and the creation of three design options for the medical offi ce building. Programming, medical planning and blocking and stacking alternatives were developed to meet the client’s goals. Schematic architectural, structural, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering design options for the medical offi ce building and garage were used to provide cost estimates that met the project budget. City Planning and zoning codes were reviewed in preparation for full project development.

395 HICKEY BOULEVARD

DALY CITY, CA

Project Description

395 Hickey Boulevard was originally conceived by a developer as a commercial offi ce space, and was leased by major healthcare organization to become a medical offi ce building to better serve their members in Daly City. However, the horizontal space plan was not conducive to the needs of a healthcare provider so the client selected Polytech Associates to provide a master plan, program, and interior architecture program for the 140,000 sf building that would meet the functional needs of their members, caregivers,and administrators.

The new program integrates space for seventy-two providers, offi ces, cafe, conference center, training rooms, and two pharmacies on six levels. Our design team created a separate Teen Clinic, giving this population a more private area for waiting and examination. The medical offi ce building also features four levels of sub-level parking.

The modular space plan provides maximum fl exibility to accommodate for future changes in service and growth in membership. Departments can be expanded as needed, and waiting areas and group work areas are located at the perimeter of the fl oors for ease of movement, and to take advantage of views and natural light.

REPLACEMENT HOSPITAL AND CENTRAL UTILITY PLANT

REDWOOD CITY, CA

Our design team is providing medical planning and interior design for the Replacement Hospital and full architectural design services for the Central Utility Plant for a major healthcare organization.

Replacement Hospital

Our design team worked closely with the client and end users to integrate the interior design and furniture selection for CT Scanner and clinical technology areas, Physical Medicine, Inpatient Neuro CCU, Acute Care and Interventional Radiology, Inpatient Rehabilitation, Neurology, and Health Information Management departments into the new, 280,665 gsf hospital, which is being designed by HOK San Francisco.

Central Utility Plant

Polytech Associates is serving as Architect-of-Record for the 16,000 sf Central Utility Plant, which will supply all utilities to the new hospital and house the Facilities Services Department. The site area for the building is restricted by the adjacent access roadway, new replacement hospital and adjacent offi ce building and parking garage. The restricted site required a modifi cation of client standards, reduction of the building area and a two-story design. The exterior of the building uses an insulated metal panel and glazing system with a metal rooftop screen for mechanical equipment. The exterior materials, colors and details were required to be compatible with the new hospital and accommodated the Redwood City Design Review requirements within the client’s cost model.
