Expanding cardiology and primary care access in Mount Laurel, New Jersey
When their facility at Cherry Hill began to feel the pressures of heavy patient volume, Penn Medicine began to conceive a solution. Finding an existing office building 11 miles away along Route 38, they began to make plans for Penn Medicine Mount Laurel.
Having designed spaces for Penn Medicine for more than 20 years, our team was chosen to undertake the architecture, interior design, and MEP engineering for the Mount Laurel fit out. The facility consists of a shared waiting room, an adjacent phlebotomy lab with its own entrance, and check-in desks for cardiology and primary care. One of our challenges was to design the two practices to feel like one though they practice differently. While the exam rooms and staff spaces are different, we created a clinical corridor to connect the practices, so the space feels as one to the patient. The corridor features a darker wood tone flooring for wayfinding as well as tall ceilings—a feature shared by the waiting room to take advantage of the high floor to deck height.
We designed a total of 27 exam rooms, a stress/echo testing room, an echo room, and additional support spaces. Penn Medicine Mount Laurel now provides a new home to Willingboro Cardiology and primary and specialty care. This not only helps alleviate patient volume at Cherry Hill, but also expands access to specialized healthcare.
