Providing outpatient specialty care to the central Jersey shore through creation of a healthcare services boardwalk

Geisinger Health - AtlantiCare Health Park, Manahawkin Campus

AtlantiCare knew that its clients in Manahawkin, New Jersey, were looking for better access to healthcare services and turned to us for help. Our goal? Consolidate medical practices in one location and provide space for additional opportunities.

By using existing retail structures, we saved on initial project capital costs and brought patient services to market faster. Although the masonry shell was retained, new façade materials were provided for the entire exterior to refresh the facility for a new use as well as rehabilitate to meet current energy codes. The new design utilizes several elements crucial to the project’s vision, one of which is a wooden “boardwalk” inspired by the nearby oceanfront. The interior circulation is planned in a hub-and-spoke pattern, where one reception “hub” greets the patient, who is directed to a service at the end of each “spoke”. Spokes include Obstetrician Gynecology, Cardiology, Urology, Primary Care, and subleased suites.

Through our planning, architectural, and interior design services, AtlantiCare’s clients now have a one-stop healthcare experience where they can access everything from lab tests to specialized medical care.
