DENTAL OFFICE

The heart of each dental office is the operatory chair. Below each chair is a network of specialized plumbing and electrical infrastructure to support patient care. These include lines for water, waste, and mixed gases like nitrous gases and oxygen. Above the chair, the telescoping lights require specific ceiling-concealed mounting to handle their weight and maneuverability. Other special considerations while building a dental office include:

• Rated med gas rooms with leakage alarms that are secure, protective, and tied into the Life & Fire Safety (LFS) system.
• X-ray rooms with specialized power and shielded walls.
• Additional inspections may be required, such as third-party inspection of all med gas.

VETERINARY OFFICE

Veterinary healthcare construction requires a unique blend of construction expertise and animal welfare knowledge. These spaces may include installing specialized equipment, like anesthesia machines and diagnostic imaging equipment for animals, and building stress-free environments for animals by using sound-dampening materials and considering animal flow and containment. Other considerations include:

• Sanitation for animal-specific pathogens and zoonotic diseases.
• Safety for animals and staff.
• Durability of materials, equipment and restraint systems.

CLINICAL SPACE

Clinical spaces are typically highly specialized and include many features unique to their specific medical practice. These spaces require deep knowledge of medical codes, equipment, and patient safety while prioritizing infection control and functionality. Some of the common considerations for clinical space projects include:

• Compliance with HIPAA laws and patient privacy, including acoustics and record-keeping.
• Consideration for sanitation such as continuous-base flooring.
• Specialized requirements for medical-grade infrastructure including outlet types, redundant circuitry, and plumbing for additional hand- or eye-washing stations.

OTHER MEDICAL FACILITIES

There are many other types of medical facility construction projects, each with unique considerations. Long-term care facilities, for example, typically include enhanced safety and security systems and accessibility standards. This includes features like non-slip flooring, wandering prevention systems, and secure medication rooms. Outpatient centers, however, are more focused on patient flow and flexibility. They prioritize efficiency to keep wait times down and to handle a larger volume of patients.
