HEALTH CARE PORTFOLIO

Cesar E. Chavez Family Medical Center
186 N. Hurt Street
Center, CO 81125

Summary:
This Family Medical Center was designed for primary care physicians and physician's assistants and is part of the Valley-Wide Health Systems network of community clinics. The facility is approximately 10,000 sq. ft. and was managed & built by Colorado Construction.

The design includes a main entrance with spacious reception areas with plentiful seating and an attractive color scheme. The clinic has wheelchair access, ten examination rooms, one treatment room, six administration offices, a laboratory, medical records storage, and more.

The exterior of the facility is stucco and styled with a definite Spanish influence. A Butler Steel building with metal stud framing was used to keep costs to a minimum. The clinic is the only medical facility in the area. It is frequently described as the "nicest building in town". Private physicians and clinic administrators who want to build rural health centers in Colorado have toured the building to see a great example of how to build for functionality and usability, while achieving an inviting and calming atmosphere for their patients.
