THEMES FOR ARRANGING THE SPACE• A building organized around light• The shortest distance from door to visit for patients with limited mobility • Easy access to pharmacy and physical therapy services• From most public to most private spaces (have natural light, but privacy)• From quick wait to long wait, from triage / trauma to waiting room• Community spaces, pharmacy, and physical therapy as a hub• It could be single building or a “campus” arrangement• BecauseinMinnesota...allunderoneroof,preferrablynotflat• Separate entrance for trauma / triage, 2 entrances - main vs. emergency• Exam rooms that are multi-use and distributed• Exam rooms surrounding the team workspace
FEATURES OF THE COMMUNITY SPACES• Community meeting spaces• Community space grouped along the side• Community spaces used to create bigger waiting rooms• Shared, cross-generation spaces and activities• Supports wellness activities• Exam rooms adjacent to community spaces for patient education• Spaces comfortable for large groups - an auditorium• Comfortable, inviting, and spacious - enough that you’d even want to have
your wedding there!• Create clinic areas that can be closed off, so other, public spaces can still
be used off-hours for community activities
Community
spaces that
are flexible,
scalable, and
accessible.
Entrances for different functions (trauma, visit, off-hours).
Arranging spaces around accessibilty and natural light.

THEMES OF NATURE AND LIGHT• Courtyards to bring in light, nature, and air• Windows for exam rooms (provide natural light and privacy)• Create ways to interface with the outdoors throughout the clinic experience• Welcome people with green spaces, allow people to wait in green spaces • Combine reception with community and outdoor spaces• Plenty of windows and natural light
SPACES TO CREATE IDEAL PATIENT EXPERIENCES• Spaces that are better at conveying the feeling of a healthy, healing space
than the current spaces and decor• Circular spaces, warmer feeling• Exam rooms with fun themes to help differentiate • Friendly, non-intimidating, spacious• An area for kids• No skinny hallways• Natural light• Views for everyone
