This top-notch medical facility was designed for optimal service while protecting a cherished ecosystem.
Description
This world-class replacement medical clinic at 13 Area of the expansive Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base provides care for Marine active-duty personnel as well as enrolled family members and other beneficiaries. Camp Pendleton is one of the DoD's busiest installations, with 38,000 military family members occupying base housing and a daytime population surging to 70,000 military and civilian personnel. The base is a training facility for many active and reserve Marine, Army, and Navy units, as well as national, state and local agencies.
RLF provided full planning and design efforts, unified direction of departmental-level configuration, building shape, and site layout, which became the basis of design. RLF presented three options, with the preferred design offering a three-team Medical Home Port concept with a central reception desk. Departments included preventive medicine and audiology, physical therapy/SMART clinic, pathology, imaging, and a drive-through pharmacy. The clinic is in a high seismic area and therefore structural steel was of significant emphasis in the design. The phased project was designed to meet LEED Silver criteria.
Camp Pendleton is home to more than 1,000 species of plants, fish and animals, some threatened or endangered, so RLF worked closely with project stakeholders and the community to ensure that wildlife and habitat protection remained a top concern.
Designed to achieve LEED Silver Certification
