A Modern Medical Facility in a Traditional Setting
UG Group (formerly 2WR+ Partners) designed the Urology Center of Columbus, a 35,000-square-foot urology center that balances modern medical expertise with traditional architectural elements. Situated within the Brookstone Center, a professional office development, the project required a thoughtful approach to meet both client expectations and design review board standards.
The client wanted a facility that fit the conservative aesthetic of the business park while still reflecting cutting-edge healthcare services. UG Group carefully blended common materials with contemporary design elements to achieve this vision, ensuring the center met both functional and aesthetic needs.
A Thoughtful Design for a Urology Center
The Urology Center of Columbus houses a range of medical services within a well-organized layout, including:
- Exam Clinic & Imaging Suite – Designed for efficiency and patient comfort, these areas provide advanced diagnostic and treatment spaces.
- Ambulatory Surgical Center – A state-of-the-art facility offering outpatient procedures in a convenient setting.
- Dramatic Entry & Vaulted Waiting Room – A striking entrance, featuring a north-facing curtainwall, floods the space with natural light and creates a welcoming atmosphere.
- Multi-Level Organization – The main floor serves patients, while the second floor accommodates large offices with scenic views and soft, natural light.
- Under-Building Parking & Staff Amenities – Due to the sloping lot, parking and staff spaces are seamlessly integrated into the site, opening out to tranquil lake views.
Blending Functionality with Timeless Design
UG Group ensured the urology center met high medical standards while maintaining a refined, professional appearance. The exterior incorporates familiar materials and vernacular forms to align with its surroundings, while the interior prioritizes efficiency, comfort, and aesthetics. The design not only enhances patient experiences but also provides a productive workspace for medical professionals.
By integrating modern medical functionality with traditional architectural cues, UG Group delivered a urology center that meets both healthcare and community expectations. The result is a facility that stands as a model for thoughtful medical design.
