The North Mobile Health Center was constructed to provide health care
services to the residents of North Mobile County, Alabama. The hilly,
generally wooded, rural site required extensive site work for fill, two
retention ponds, and a septic system.
The state-of-the-art medical facility includes administrative and
doctors offices, a dental clinic, examination and treatment rooms, a
laboratory, X-Ray suite, counseling rooms, and employee facilities. In
the warm, humid, coastal climate, the mechanical system is carefully
zoned to accommodate the differing hours of business.
The building envelope is composed of exterior load bearing CMU with a
liquid applied moisture barrier, 1 ˝-inch rigid insulation board, a
generous drainage cavity and faced with a brick veneer. Metal framing
provides the interior structure. The roof is structured with
pre-manufactured light gauge metal trusses and metal decking. The actual
roof system is 1 ˝-inch rigid insulation board, a fiber reinforced
membrane, detailed with peel and stick membrane and topped with a
standing seam metal roof. To compensate for the extreme thermal
conditions, 2-part roof panel clips were used in strategic locations.
Though the site is located just outside the coastal zone, the building
has a transfer switch to accommodate the addition of a generator, so the
facility can serve as a shelter in an emergency situation.
