Site planning, civil, building measurement, architectural and interior design services for an existing two-story 114,000 SF bank vault building conversion into a 130,000 SF medical office building. With the new clinic, Veterans Affairs will increase its services to include mental health, audiology, radiology, prosthetics, physical therapy, dental, and women’s health. The facility also hosts an eye clinic, a specialty clinic, a pathology lab, and a large primary care department.
The objective was to deliver a high-performance environment that optimized the patient’s experience, emphasizing both physical and mental well-being. The expansive glazed building façade allows natural daylight to pour into the entry, creating a calm and positive lobby arrival.
Ware Malcomb’s in-house branding team designed a memorable sculpture that evokes technology and innovation near the building entry along with a VA letterform pattern for the ground floor canopy roof. The branding team also designed custom exterior, interior, and parking garage signage solutions to integrate into the site, building architecture and interior design solutions.
Ware Malcomb’s civil engineering team completed a lot line adjustment to reconfigure two lots accommodating the new parking structure. The adjustment implements stormwater management features to align with San Diego’s stormwater regulations.
