In support of their industry-leading approach of providing convenient, high-quality healthcare to today’s busy New Yorker, Columbia University Medical Center relocated their flagship practice within Midtown Manhattan. Created for the expectations of sophisticated healthcare consumers, the patient-focused design of the new destination ambulatory facility in is marked by refined materials and detailing that echo the International Style tower housing the medical practice.

The program for ColumbiaDoctors Midtown is substantial, encompassing a branded entrance and private elevator lobby, an imaging suite with a full range of diagnostic imaging services, a full-service laboratory, a walk-in practice offering same-day visits in a variety of specialties, and physical therapy, occupational therapy, and sports therapy facilities. On top of that, there are over 125 examination rooms, more than 30 of which are equipped to provide a full range of procedures – including endoscopy, skin treatments, ultrasound, and cardiac stress tests – in addition to new work areas for 225 doctors, dentists, and nurse practitioners.

Despite the variety and scale of the facility’s offerings, careful planning allowed for the implementation of clear wayfinding, maximized flexibility for the healthcare professional, and the experience of a private physician’s office for each patient. Also prominent throughout the facility are relocated works from the JP Morgan art collection, which were donated to Columbia Doctors, and which contribute to the holistic, sophisticated aesthetic of the environment.
