Engler Health Center
Type of facility: Medical office building
Location: Chaska
Ownership Organization: MSP Commercial
Architect/Interior design: Sperides Reiners Architects
Engineers: Asche Engineering; Sambatek, Inc. (Civil); Ericksen Roed & Associates (Structural)
Contractor: RJM Construction

Engler Health Center
Teaming up with Hy-Vee Grocery, MSP Commercial developed the Engler Health Center as part of the 80-acre Chaska Creek Business Center mixed-use development project. The strategic architectural design evokes a Main Street feel: exterior materials evoke both Chaska’s history of creating brick using river clay and its industrial-era cast iron foundry, using buff colors, classic brick, and dark bronze metal paneling. Handsome unitized patterns and stacking techniques are derived from German traditional construction styles, referencing geological stratification on the river. The lobby and overall interior design employ warm colors, abundant natural light, and wood flooring tile to create a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. Tenant suites are accentuated by floor-to-ceiling storefront-style glass paneling. Current tenants include Southwest Eye Care, Catalyst Medical Center, and Town Dental.

Bethesda
This in-progress, multi-phase, $3.5 million Town Center renovation is infusing new life into the existing, original main building of the Bethesda campus in Willmar. Highlights include extensive renovation of the chapel, a family cafe for resident and visitor enjoyment, a new gift shop, and areas for family dining and gathering. Residents and visitors comment on the warm, inviting feeling of the new areas—places people come to live and celebrate life together. The second stage of the project will renovate the existing nurse’s stations, tub rooms, and small-group dining areas of the facility. Bethesda provides a full continuum of care, including skilled nursing care, short-stay therapy centers, home health care, outpatient therapy, independent and assisted living, adult day services, and a wellness center. This project is the second stage of a $21 million redevelopment project to unite the Bethesda organization onto one campus.

Carris Health Surgery Center
Carris Health—a partnership between Affiliated Community Medical Center (ACMC), Rice Memorial Hospital, and CentraCare Health—sought a replacement, stand-alone 29,000 square foot ambulatory surgery center to satisfy current surgical volumes and provide accommodations over the next 10–15 years. The center was designed for five ORs, two endoscopy suites, one procedure room, and necessary ancillary functions, including waiting rooms, Phase I and Phase II recovery areas, care delivery stations, decontamination and central processing, and other staff support spaces. The design team conducted user group sessions to hear first-hand how care providers desired to work and what they required to do their best work. That information, coupled with the design team’s experience in creating custom care delivery models, resulted in an efficient and functional staff and patient flow model.

Center for Reflection and Renewal at Abbott Northwestern Hospital
Type of facility: Renovation of Existing Hospital Prayer/Meditation Space
Location: Minneapolis
Ownership Organization: Allina Health, Abbott Northwestern Hospital, and Tony LaCroix-Dalluhn

Center for Reflection and Renewal at Abbott Northwestern Hospital
This project acknowledges the needs of an increasingly diverse community of patients, visitors, and hospital staff. An early consensus-building process recognized a common desire for a place of refuge that would be conducive to reflection, prayer, and decision-making, and in using nature to unify the breadth of individual spiritual traditions. The design utilizes natural and timeless materials to establish a point of departure from the surrounding hospital environment. The existing chapel has been clad in granite, punctuated by wood-framed views into the project’s screened interior. A pair of wooden screen walls—representative of an abstracted forest understory—delineates and guides visitors through a small collection of sub-spaces, each with its own function and scale of inhabitation, culminating in a communal space defined by a starry clearing above. The existing chapel entrance is re-oriented to take advantage of proximity to a renovated emergency department and lobby seating area.

CityPlace Medical
Located in Woodbury’s mixed-use CityPlace development, CityPlace Medical provides a gorgeous specialty medical center for patients in the east metro and western Wisconsin. Davis, the local development firm chosen to lead the project, introduced the space to current anchor tenant Minnesota Gastroenterology (MNGI) due to its convenient location, optimal visibility, and wholly customizable footplate. All parties wanted the building design to be creative and unique, while complementing the existing structures inside the development. The finished product surrounds guests with natural light, warm wood tones, and neatly polished accents, creating a relaxing vibe throughout the space that makes guests feel right at home. The bold stone exterior and cascading glass curtain help the building to stand out while still fitting in, encouraging patients and general shoppers alike to come for a purpose but stay for the experience.

Essentia Health–Fargo
Type of facility: Cardiac and intermediate care unit
Location: Fargo, ND
Ownership Organization: Essentia Health

Engineers: Asche Engineering; EAPC Architects Engineers
Contractor: Olaf Anderson Construction
Completion date: 2018
Total cost: $6 million
Square feet: 22,217
Essentia Health–Fargo
This project involved the fit-up of approximately 22,217 square feet of existing third floor shell space in the south wing of Essentia Health hospital. Combining the services of the existing Progressive Care Unit and Telemetry floor into one unit, EAPC designed a 28-bed cardiac telemetry patient care unit where each individual patient room includes a private toilet-shower room and a family seating area. Four of the patient rooms were designed to accommodate airborne infection isolation control capabilities, one of which also includes bariatric patients. Recessed nursing care stations were integrated into the corridors to allow direct staff observation of patients from outside the room, a configuration that mirrors the design of an ICU room. Pass-through cabinets allow replenishment of care supplies without disturbing the patient. Staff and support spaces now consist of cardiac telemetry, infection control, pharmacy, consultation, offices, and a break room.

HealthEast Clinic and Specialty Center
HealthEast Care System sought to consolidate a number of health care services and specialty groups to create an ideal ambulatory destination. Under health care developer Mark Davis, the project was initially strategized to be built in three phases, but as demand for tenancy skyrocketed, construction plans were revised three times to launch at full capacity. Local architect firm bdh+young designed the concept, delivering a finished product as beautiful as it is logical. Lush landscaping lines the massive parking lot, helping patients feel at ease as they approach the grand front entrance. A player piano and roaring fireplace greet guests as they arrive in the modern, open-concept lobby, and the breathtaking view from inside showcases local art, with the feature piece being a massive glass sculpture suspended from the vaulted ceiling. The space presents a warm color palette, light and bright glass staircase, and cozy lounges.

Square feet: 1,410 SF Remodel
HealthEast Care System St. John’s Hospital
To better serve patient needs, EAPC designed a complete remodel for the treatment space of the Linear Accelerator as well as waiting and common space areas outside the vault. This new equipment allows the hospital to conduct more accurate and refined treatments for patients while providing a grand atmosphere within a relatively small room. The point of design emphasis was the Linear Accelerator vault itself, with special attention paid to the new machine’s strict requirements. All-new casework and finishes were installed. An enchanting and inviting display was created by a drop-down ceiling featuring fiber-optic panels and a cove with color-changing LED lights designed to enhance the patient experience, and soften the room for an otherwise hard and chilled environment. The sub-wait area just outside the vault includes new work to the soffit and a new privacy glass wall configuration.
