Floor Plan for Small Medical Office
We recently completed a space plan as part of a feasibility analysis for a small medical office in the Southview office condominiums in Evergreen. Before the owner could purchase the property, we needed to assess what could be done with the existing space and how many exam rooms could fit within the existing office condominium.
We worked together with the owner to program the requirements of his typical offices, along with the realtor, EV Real Estate, to come up with the appropriate terms necessary to make a workable offer for the condominium. This included assisting the owner in creating a pro forma for the condominium complete with a cash flow analysis. With these tools, the owner was able to confidently determine the viability of the space for his business in the short and long term. It also was instrumental in preparing a qualified offer for purchase, backed with realistic numbers.
Most business owners rarely can build a new building for their business, and so they are constrained by the existing space available on the market at any given time. While finding the right space that can house the functions that are required can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack, we can help with feasibility studies of this kind so you can have the confidence you need to move forward with the space, or to keep looking. If the project is viable, we simply continue developing the plans generated during feasibility all the way through permitting.
With EVstudio's experience in commercial real estate development, office condominium ownership, and commercial space leasing, we help business owners in all kinds of scenarios like this. The project does not have to be near any of our offices provided we have accurate backgrounds of the space in question. Our initial consultation is free and many times, after a phone discussion, we can ascertain if the project requirements can be met.

How much square footage would be needed for a 10-doctor primary care/adult internal medicine medical office?
Dr Snyder, I'm happy to help you figure out your space needs. What are the average requirements for each doctor, a private office and two exam rooms? Are there procedure rooms? With that information I can give you a pretty good range.
I am a Primary care doctor with 2 nurse practitioners. We are looking at building an office, with 9 exam rooms, one pelvic room and one procedure room. How many square feeet do we need and do you have an average price per square foot?
Thank you
Annette, is your project a stand-alone building or a tenant improvement? My rough estimate is between 1,700 and 2,200 sf.
Hello,
I'm interested in designing a small medical office for two providers in a ~1000 sf rectangular space. The space is located on the first floor of a two story Medical Plaza bldg. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dr Calzada
Dr Calzada,
Thank you for your reply. Where is the location of your project? Are you interested in design services or seeking advice on construction costs? Happy to help in either case, but I just need more information about your practice and any special design considerations for your use.

I'm a primary care doctor looking to build a small medical office with possibly three examining rooms .

Julio,
Thanks for your question. Where are you located?
We are locate in the Bronx, Ny
We are located in the NY,
I am very interested in your approach to defining the space problem. I am looking at purchasing a condo for office use. It would be helpful to have the information you provided in the example in order to make a solid decision based on facts. How can I work with you company to figure this out?
Dr Augustus,
We would be happy to help you with your project. Where is your project located and how big is the condo you are looking at purchasing in terms of gross square footage? With a fairly simple program and an understanding of the existing space, I can outline the next steps in the process fairly quickly. If you have any images of the floor plan or photos you could e-mail, that would be most helpful. Let me know and we can go from there. Thanks!

Hi
You forgot the reception desk
Hazem,
Thank you for your comment. As a matter of fact, the program for this client does not include a receptionist. Through simple technologies that alert staff when there is an arrival, their nurses greet new patients immediately upon arrival. We did, however, accommodate enough space in the waiting room for a receptionist desk should that operational model ever change for this particular practice. This is an excellent example of how every program is unique, and results in a custom design that fits each practice.
it's seem really weird having no reception disk or a nurse station
though am only a young architecture student i thought it's a must having these two things in a health clinic.
any way am looking for any previose projects for a new project we are working on at college
Moh,
It is great that you point that out. In a traditional western medical office, that is typically the case. However, this program was specifically for a collaborative group of eastern medicine practitioners who have a very unique program. There are no nurses in this program. Patients are met at their arrival directly by their practitioner, then escorted immediately to a treatment room. After treatment, they are encouraged to spend some time in the waiting area to decompress before they leave. There are no walk-ins as everything is appointment only in this particular practice.
It is important to point out that every practice is very different and unique. It is critical to design the space to serve the practice and the program, and not follow any standard template. Hopefully this will help to inform your project. Good luck!
Hello,
I am a freshman architecture student , and our final project is about designing floor plans for kids clinics.
The maximum aria should be approximately 150 sm.
My question is how many exam rooms could fit within this place ? It's 2 levels, the first floor will include a reception , 2 waiting rooms , and a playing aria , as well as 2 toilets. The second floor is going to be all exam rooms.
Thank you.
Nora,
Thanks for commenting on our blog! Your project sounds interesting - however, in the best interest of the experience your professor is trying to give you, I am reluctant to provide for you any part of the design solution that you are being asked to render. I suggest, as I do with other similar requests on academic projects, as well as with our own staff on actual projects, to broaden your creative mind and sketch, draw, research and explore in order to learn and expand those skills that allow you to grow as a design professional. Draw yourself a scale geometry of the space, then get some trace paper and start sketching. We find that even after years (or decades in some cases) of professional practice, we still go through several sketches of concepts that don't work before arriving at the first of what becomes several workable solutions that we then refine and narrow down to the best options for a design challenge.. I wish you the very best of luck on the project and in your academic and professional career! When you graduate, get in touch with us as we are always seeking bright and talented designers that share a vision of making a great impact on our built environment and within our society.
I own a 3/4 acer piece of land in Westminster, CO. ready to build a medical building on, correct zoning in place. How do I find a doctor to build this for?
Thanks
Jonathan,
A wise man once said, "If you build it, they will come"
But seriously, all of the conventional methods of leasing space, whether it is medical office space or any other kind of space would be at your disposal. Advertising preconstruction leasable space among the networked community of those professional organizations tends to be the most effective. We would love to speak with you about the building itself, as it is a project type that we do a lot of and we can provide full architecture, engineering and planning services. I will email you separately and we can continue the discussion. Thanks!
Superb website you have here but I was wondering if you knew of any discussion boards that cover the same topics talked about in this article?
I'd really love to be a part of community where I can get feedback from other knowledgeable people that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Kudos!
Thanks Rico, while I'm not on any other discussion forums, anyone can comment here on this blog to discuss issues of interest. Feel free to post questions and we or our readership can respond.
