HARRISON HEALTH CLINIC

Harrison Health Clinic provides the health center for Harrison as well as community center. The architecture provides the emergency medical facility and the primary facility while creating a space for the community.
FACADE DESIGN
The screens are made up of crooked lines in contrast to the vertical edges of the windows. They filter in the sunlight to make the heating and cooling of the building more efficient. The screens are made up of brushed metal and are hooked over the parapet. The windows are also alternating in opaque glass made up of back-painted fiber glass and transparent glass to increase privacy some of the rooms.
FORM GENERATION
PROGRAM DIAGRAM
The plan of the clinic was formed by laying the programs on a 5'x5' grid. The spaces are formed by access points on how people would enter the site. The programs are categorized by the emergency zones, the primary care zones, and community zones. The first floor towards the back holds all the spaces for ER and it has it's own entrance for an ambulance. Towards the front, holds the community space zones. The second floor holds all the primary care facility like pediatric care and adult care.

FLOOR PLAN
The floor plan consists of ground plan, second floor plan, and roof plan. On the ground plan, by the front entrance, holds the community spaces, such as multi-pupose room and conference rooms. There are also adminstrative offices for the hospital. Towards the back is the ER with it's own entrance for the ambulance. Dividing the clinic, in the center is a walkway leading from the city to the river. On the second floor, the plan makes up of adminstrative buildings, primary and service area. Each section of primary care has its own waiting area. The roof of the building is covered in walkable roof tiles, so the roof can be usable to the community.
