Parkland Moody Outpatient Center

When Parkland replaced its massive acute care hospital, its multiple clinics were still located in outdated facilities across the city. This project elegantly unites the 24 disparate clinics in a central building on Parkland\u2019s new campus, creating a dignified health community for all."]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"Built on a former industrial site that was later turned into a parking lot, the clinic\u2019s massing and landscape plan, which aims to \u201cput the park back in Parkland,\u201d emphasize wellness. A network of greenspaces stretch between the clinic and the main hospital, and a new park celebrates those arriving by public transit and pedestrians traveling to the clinic from the main hospital. In placing park land on the former parking lot, the hospital has signaled its investment in the county\u2019s biosphere and community. The clinic also includes a new rehab garden that helps Dallas\u2019 young athletes get back on the court or field quickly, as well as a walking trail that meanders through a new garden on the southwest portion of the site."]]],[1,"blockquote",[[0,[],0,"\u201cThe fact that it\u2019s built on a former parking lot, adjacent to public transportation, is remarkable.

High-volume functions, such as the intake and visitor areas, are located on the ground floor, while others, like the signature Moody Center for Breast Health, are easy to locate across the six floors. The team spent several months analyzing and documenting existing spaces for each of the clinics in the program, discovering that each operated in isolation with different processes and private spaces. By developing a standardized clinic pod model, the team standardized processes for the unified building, which, in turn, accommodates change-readiness and flexibility.
