The Coastal Surgical Center, a new physician-owned and operated outpatient ophthalmology surgical center in Newington, N.H., has recently completed.
The 6,500-sf facility is designed to meet the needs and comfort of patients as well as the technology and equipment demands of its doctors, nurses, and staff. The center includes a waiting area, two operating rooms, a pre- and postoperative recovery area, a centrally-located nurses’ station, and offices. Other interior spaces include a clean room and soil processing area, a supply area, a medical gas area, an administrative office area, and a staff break room. The pre- and postoperative space contains eight patient areas with the centrally-located nurses’ station creating a direct connection with patients.
Sun visors over each exterior window shade patient areas from sunlight and exterior light. The front entrance protects visitors from the elements while an exit separate from the main entrance enables patients to leave the building privately after procedures.
The interior features soothing colors and materials that reflect biophilic design concepts. Windows in the large waiting and reception room lighten the space and glass globe lights over the reception desk and ring lights overhead provide an additional soothing effect.
JSA Design provided architecture and interior design services for the project. Sullivan Construction was the project’s contractor.
