Vancouver Clinic, the largest private, multispecialty clinic in Clark County, has an 80-year legacy in southwest Washington. With more than 1,200 employees and 400 providers, the clinic has seen rapid growth, building three new clinics in just five years. To date, the newest three-story, 80,000-square-foot space is the most advanced, built to serve the rapidly growing population. Constructed in just 19.5 months, the first floor features a 13-exam-room urgent care facility, two triage rooms, a CT and X-ray room, and a physical therapy center.

The second floor houses a pain man-agement procedure suite, as well as 39 exam rooms and three X-ray rooms with room for a fourth later. This area will primarily cater to patients needing access to medical care in the areas of orthopedics, physical therapy, podiatry, and sports medicine.

The third floor boasts six operating rooms with 18 pre/post operative rooms for same-day surgeries. In addition, there is an expanded sterile processing department.
The building’s HVAC system features two dedicated and redundant air handlers, and state-of-the-art ceiling operating room systems that include prefabricated supply air diffusers and ultraviolet light sterilization systems.

Additionally, the facility uses surgical robots and visual and graphics for the operating suites. To ensure that the building design was functional and to get boots-on-the-ground feedback, the team conducted mockups, site walks and progress reviews with key staff members.

The project was completed with a team-oriented Progressive Design-Build approach, where the relationship between the design team, TVC and Andersen was crucial to delivering the project within the schedule. The team relied heavily on relationships developed through the previous two successful projects in this series. Despite some weather delays and issues with procuring materials, The Vancouver Clinic –Salmon Creek 2 finished ahead of schedule and under budget.
