Carlin/White Associates has designed several medical professional
facilities, and has developed an extremely cost effective one-story,
multi-tenant design. As with its assisted living facilities, the design
of medical professional buildings has become a specialty of the firm,
and one in which it differentiates itself from other architectural
firms.
Architectural firms
that specialize in the design of medical professional buildings are
primarily from the institutional side of the market: designing hospitals
and large medical centers. Therefore, their design of smaller
facilities is typically expensive to construct.
Carlin/White's
design approach to the market focuses on the economics of the medical
complex.
What is important
to our clients is that we design project with an understanding of real
estate development, and the economics that make projects financially
successful.
When projects are
not designed from that standpoint, construction costs are often
inappropriately high, which has unfortunately contributed to higher
medical office overhead, which places unnecessary financial pressure on
many practitioners.
