cloudbreak eye care - university district

The Block team was engaged by Cloudbreak Eye Care as a strategic design team to create a forward thinking and highly functional space for their clinic’s second location in the newly developed University District. As they are leaders, educators, and innovators in their field of ophthalmology their space needed to foster an environment of innovation and adaptability.

Space planning was of strong importance in ensuring proper adjacencies, clearances, and accessibility to limit client times, ensure efficiencies, and provide for aging clientele. High functionality within spaces, limited natural light exposure in testing areas, flow of clients through the space, and staff movement during consults were thoroughly discussed with the client team to understand their needs. Reviewing construction approaches led the team to a demountable system (DIRTT) to allow for technology integration, increased clearances within spaces, and adaptability to future technologies and medical techniques.

The completed clinic space will also become a teaching environment for future Ophthalmologists as well as entrepreneurial medical professionals.
