Article Abstract:
The thriving three-story, 147,000-sq-ft ambulatory care facility in Dayton, Ohio was a joint venture of Earl Swensson Associates and Samaritan North Health Center. The mall-modelled building was constructed in a way that allows visitors and patients to readily see the central registration, cafe, pharmacy and diagnostic testing area. The use of warm handmade brick on the cafe's interior wall complements the cherrywood detailing of the railing cap. The facility is 'bedless' and boasts of employees who highly regard teamwork and customer satisfaction.
