Athens Gastroenterology Associates (AGA) is a 2-physician GI provider serving Northeast Georgia. AGA needed to expand its practice — develop a medical office building (MOB) and an endoscopy center. The physicians purchased a pad-ready land parcel located in a 6-unit-condominium-site medical park — Athens Specialty Medical Park.

AGA interviewed numerous local and national architects, contractors and design/build firms — seeking assistance with their development activities. BBL offered AGA plan/design/build services and up-front “guaranteed” pricing at the earliest stage of project development. BBL was selected to develop the physicians’ program. The Medical Park is administered by The Park Architectural Review Committee, which applied many aesthetic and site restrictions. BBL met each of the Committee’s requirements and was granted approval.

Patient comfort and convenience — and physician ‘step-savings’ — were the design parameters. The MOB’s 11,000 square foot (SF) first floor consists of an efficiently clustered 12-exam room clinical area and a 3-procedure room endoscopy center, each area having separate waiting. A main entrance and a discrete endo-suite exit were provided to insure patient privacy. A strategically located 2-station Rhemacaid Treatment Infusion Center provides patients and physicians with immediate access to the Center. The endo-suite’s centrally located nurse station affords AGA staff with direct peripheral-observation of the 3-prep bays and 9-recovery stations. Four-physician offices, administration, billing, IT, conference and a break room are located on the MOB’s 5,500 SF second floor.
