The new 60,000 square-foot three-story medical office building in Pekin, Illinois, is a strategic response to the dual national challenges of enhancing healthcare access in un- der-covered areas and driving operational efficiency through scalable solutions. Completed in late 2017, this state-of-the- art facility was designed to replace two outdated medical office buildings, allowing UnityPoint Health Pekin to con- solidate services and better serve the community. By cen- tralizing healthcare services, this project not only improves patient access but also fosters collaboration among health- care providers.
The design prioritizes creating a warm and inviting envi- ronment for patients, aligning with the overarching goal of enhancing the patient experience. The careful engineering of this space addressed the complexity of modern medical requirements, allowing for high-tech infrastructure while maintaining an approachable atmosphere. To achieve this, pre-construction drawings were meticulously coordinated with all contractors, ensuring efficient construction and a swift build-out.
By centralizing healthcare services in this innovative facili- ty, we are not only addressing immediate community needs but also paving the way for future growth and development in Pekin. This project exemplifies a commitment to bridging the gap in healthcare access and exemplifying operational efficiency, ultimately improving health outcomes for all residents.
