New York, NY
Occupational Health provides adult internal medicine services to New York Presbyterian Hospital employees. The need for more services resulted in the relocation of the facility to a vacant, 4100-square foot basement space. The interior was completely demolished and a new suite was built. The program consists of waiting and registration areas, one fast-tract room, nine exam rooms, testing and diagnosing for physical disabilities, clinical support spaces, administrative offices and support spaces.
Rich materials, including birdseye maple veneers and wood pattern sheet flooring, create a bright, welcoming space. The lack of natural daylight in the basement was alleviated by the creative use of indirect downlighting. Ceiling-level clerestory glazing allow exam rooms to feel more open, while maintaining patient privacy.
