Project description: Located on a 4.5-acre lot, the Mercy Greenwood Clinic spans 10,700 square feet. It has a contemporary facade, clad in fiber cement panels from a single manufacturer, minimizing the number of tradespeople required on-site and providing an energy-efficient and watertight building envelope. Inside, a gallery-style waiting area offers connection to the surrounding landscape, and the building includes 22 exam rooms, plus X-ray, laboratory and vaccine prep areas, with offices and support spaces. The building will serve as a new Mercy prototype that prioritizes operational efficiencies and patient comfort, according to project officials.
