St. Joseph’s Medical office building entrance
Bangor, ME – St. Joseph Internal Medicine has relocated to a new $6.2 million, 23,000sf medical office building, designed for patient convenience and confidentiality, and for clinical efficiency.
MorrisSwitzer~Environments for Health designed the building to be light-filled and calming, with a hospitality-focused environment for patients and staff. Lobby skylights bring in soft diffused light that supports the spa-like, restful ambiance of the space.
Strategically placed art glass and wooden trellises create areas of contemplation and increase patient privacy in the lobby while providing visual control for the staff. The color palette focuses on natural hues and textures, highlighting the walnut grain of the millwork.
The building is the first commercial building in the state of Maine to use the high-performance exterior wall system known as Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF). These high-performance walls allowed for the downsizing of the mechanical systems, which will result in long-term energy usage reductions.
