Project of the Month: JRS Architect, P.C. designs Victorian bldg. and completes interior fit-out project for 10,300 s/f Imaging Center at Great South Bay

JRS Architect, P.C. partnered with a Long Island building developer to design a ground up medical arts facility that raises the bar for patient comfort and healing environments. Victorian in style, the three-story, 10,300 s/f structure is in context with local architectural styles and offers escape from traditional clinical settings. Decorative grille work, copper gutters and weather vanes, cedar shingling and natural granite stonework are some of the building's noteworthy elements. Guests may enjoy outdoor seating or a visit to the gazebo in the center's landscaped surrounds. The building contains four staff offices, four ultrasound rooms, three Mammography rooms, two exam rooms, one MRI suite and one X-Ray room. The remainder of the space is occupied by support staff space, including a reading room, waiting room and observation room. During construction NorthShore LIJ Health System signed as the exclusive tenant and retained JRS to complete the interior fit-out for its new Imaging Center at Great South Bay. Visitors are greeted in a serene, spa-like lobby with custom millwork, stone flooring and soft ambient lighting. With areas designed to house imaging technology, JRS also planned for LEED certification by incorporating energy efficient lighting, recycled content ceiling tiles, low VOC finishes and low flow plumbing. The approach achieves a balance between visual aesthetics, clinical requirements and the pursuit of LEED certification.
