Sadler Clinic's new, three story medical office building is located on
League Line Road in Conroe, Texas, overlooking Interstate 45, which
connects Houston and Dallas. It represents the first phase of a new
medical campus at Mercan City, a 55 acre, master planned development by
the D'Agostino Companies. The second phase of development, again for
Sadler Clinic, will be completed in early 2012.
The building structure consists of three story, tilt-wall, concrete
panels with stone accents and an interior, steel frame. The "Adoquin"
stone accents and painted finish on the concrete panels match those of
another recent project for Sadler Clinic in The Woodlands, Texas. The
fenestration includes punched, window openings and glass curtain walls.
The glass panels on the building parapet are backlit at night for
enhanced visibility from the freeway.
The interior improvements include Urgent Care and Diagnostic Imaging
facilities on the first floor as well as a variety of medical
specialties on the upper two floors. The upper floors have shared
waiting rooms at either end of the building and a surrounding layout of
flexible clinic space. The clinic layouts are generalized to allow use
by a variety of medical specialties and to permit adjustable boundaries
between physician practices. Physician offices are located along the
east and west walls of the floors to keep the patient treatment areas as
close to the central waiting rooms as possible.
The architect and interior designer worked directly with the tenant to
plan and design the various occupancies throughout the building as well
as with the Clinic's preferred furniture vendor to select complimentary
finishes and fabrics. The unified design creates a consistent feel
throughout the facility. Easy site access is provided by a shared
driveway to the freeway feeder road and from a private street connecting
to League Line Road. The site improvements include a portecochere at the
main entrance, on-site parking for a total of 322 cars, and provisions
for a future emergency generator as well as a location for a portable
MRI unit.
Architectural services for the building design and tenant improvements
were delivered on an aggressive fast-track schedule that included an
initial design package for the shell building followed by a separate
package for the interior improvements. The construction contract was
negotiated at project inception, and the general contractor was an
integral team member team throughout the design and construction
process. A series of meetings were conducted with the City of Conroe at
various stages to facilitate the local approval process.
The architect provided architectural, interior design and structural
engineering services. His work was coordinated with the civil
engineering and landscape architectural services provided by the project
developer under separate agreements. The mechanical and electrical
systems for the base building and interior improvements were provided on
a design/build basis by the respective subcontractors.
The project architect assigned to the work lives in the local community
and was able to closely monitor the building during construction. This
"hands-on" approach helped the project team meet its ambitious 16 month
schedule and complete the project on time in August, 2009.
