When Kaiser Permanente set out to replace a 50-year-old medical office building in Beaverton they set their sights high. Not content to merely re-tread over old ground, they instead decided to embark on the health care giant’s first Re-Imagining Ambulatory Design concept for the Pacific Northwest region.

The design team tasked with the job included Sisters-based PKA Architects and San Diego-based HMC Architects. Together, the team shared in delivery of construction documents for the three-story, 90,275-square-foot facility that is now home to 36 health care providers, a dental office and an urgent care facility.

The project is on track for LEED Gold certification, and true to its roots as a health care facility the interior art and design concepts are inspired by the biophilic method that seeks to mimic nature.

One of the biggest challenges involved the project site, which consisted of two lots that needed to be consolidated to allow construction of the new facility. At the same time, the two existing buildings on site needed to be demolished before completion.

This resulted in a solution that was so close, that for a period of time the new project actually overlapped existing buildings by two feet.

Another crucial element of the project involved wayfinding that blended in with the existing campus and allowed for maximum visibility.

Fortis Construction was the general contractor for the project.
