PKA partnered with Adventist Health to renovate and expand their existing Interventional Cardiology department in 2018. The project consisted of 4 phases: renovating two catheterization (cath) labs, renovating one interventional radiology (IR) lab, and the construction of one new electrophysiology (EP) lab.

The EP lab in particular required detailed coordination between multiple equipment vendors in order to provide access to the technology needed during procedures. The room is designed to increase communication, maximize staff efficiency, improve patient experience, and increase storage and easy access to equipment and supplies.

The Interventional Radiology lab phase consisted of an equipment replacement, upgraded storage, and a finish refresh.

The remaining two phases are scheduled to be completed in 2020.

Providence Progress Ridge is a 14,000 SF Primary care and OB/GYN clinic conveniently located in the Progress Ridge retail center in Beaverton, Oregon. The project had its inception in the winter of 2018, and saw its completion and occupancy in March of 2019. The layout and finishes represent the most current patient experience guidelines from Providence.

The Beaverton Medical and Dental project is a 90,000 SF multi-service outpatient clinic for Kaiser Permanente Northwest. The 3 story, LEED Gold design is organized around a dramatic central daylight atrium with a cascading open stair. Waiting areas look out to, and across the atrium creating a strong orientation and wayfinding cues for patients. Clinics include Dental, Optometry with Vision Essentials retail store, Physical Therapy, full imaging suite with MRI, and an on-site Pharmacy.

A café and “Refresh Bar” with indoor and outdoor seating provides amenities for patients and staff, in a welcoming and soothing environment. Staff work areas feature collaboration space for each clinical work group. The project is located on Beaverton Hillsdale Highway and was designed in collaboration with HMC Architects. This project won a 2019 Kaiser Permanente Design Excellence Award.

Completed in Spring of 2018, the Kaiser Permanente Tanasbourne Medical and Dental Office aims to provide an intuitive, pervasive, and inspirational environment for its users and staff. The 70,000 SF MOB includes a variety of medical and dental exam rooms, gathering and community spaces, education and conference spaces, and a cafe.

The project aims to make quality healthcare easily available to its users through the use of technology and social connectors. Interactive monitors as well as the ability to check in from your phone provide convenience for visitors.

Social gathering spaces such as the community conference room, a variety of waiting spaces, and the cafe promote community involvement and allow users to connect with their environment.

The designed environment evokes a narrative of the journey of life and wellness through a motif of canoes, water, discovery, and passage. The natural beauty of Oregon’s creeks and rivers is a strong focus in this theme. Mediums range from original paintings to custom wallpaper and 3-D sculpture, engaging users and connecting the aesthetics throughout the project, from exam room to front porches, together.

The Providence Willamette Falls Medical Office Building is an expansion to Providence Willamette Falls Medical Center’s outpatient care capabilities. The new two-story 32,600 SF facility will be the new home for Northwest Primary Care, Behavioral Health Services, and Physical Therapy.

It is the first major facility expansion for the medical center per their master plan and the first development on the west side of Division Street. The design aims to provide lots of natural light and access to outdoor spaces, such as plazas and gardens, that surround the building. It was designed in collaboration with LRS Architects.

The Unity Center for Behavioral Health was a great accomplishment for our firm. This project is a collaboration between Adventist Health, Legacy Health, Kaiser Permanente, and OHSU. It provides a new healthcare delivery model with psychiatric emergency services (PES) to the Portland community.

Aligning with the mission of the facility itself, the goal of the project was to design a building that promotes healing and well-being, as well as a sense of dignity, while also remaining safe and secure for patients and staff. Facilities of this type typically have a cold, sterile, and sometimes even hostile feel, so every detail of the project was intended to protect users from harm without perpetuating the stigmas often associated with mental illness.

With the PES, 80 adult beds, and 22 adolescent beds, the center offers both crisis and inpatient care. This facility has changed the way mental health emergency situations in the Portland metro area are handled and provides a strong foundation for recovery to those in need.
