Educational space, which helps form the heart of the clinic's location, serves to offer information on the prevention and care of STDs to the surrounding community.
The resin- and epoxy-coated create a glossy surfacing that helps to reflect the overhead lighting. Here is where patients wait following testing in the treatment rooms.
Strategic lighting mimicks natural sunlight, creating a spa-like interior that calms patients. A lack of windows does not inhibit the designer's goal of a welcoming aesthetic.
Metal finish accents boast low-VOC coating, adding to the building's overall sustainable design and contributes to compliance with NYC DDC High Performance Guidelines.
