PRAIRIE SANCTUARY | CONCEPT
The VA LENEXA CBOC was designed with veterans in mind. It incorporates easy wayfinding, connections to nature, and technology integration. The design concept is also focusing on the staff's well-being and efficiency.
The inspiration for the Lenexa clinic was drawn from Kansas Prairie and its natural elements. The blue skies and prairie grasses are reflected in the materiality inside and outside the building.
The 32000 sf clinic is planned around the principles of VA Patient Aligned Care Team (PACT) design guidelines, Onstage/Offstage clinical design strategy was implemented. Both Patients and Staff benefit from this planning concept in terms of efficiency and privacy.
The program also included additional features like outdoor dining for both staff and patients and access to the nearby walking path around the nearby lake.
