Hospital Laboratory Renovation
Provided architectural design services for the expansion and renovation of the existing Riverside Regional Medical Center Laboratory to accommodate a new state-of-the-art automated processing line, workstations, and casework. Completed 2009

Physical Therapy Dept./Conference Center
JRA was selected to provide architectural services for the design of a new physical therapy department in the existing conference center area of the Annex building at RRMC. This included a large gymnasium area, tech workstations with full view of the gym, evaluation and speech therapy rooms, plus offices, charting, waiting/reception and support spaces for staff. Concurrently we designed the renovation of the existing physical therapy suite into a new conference center, with meeting rooms to accommodate groups of various sizes, new restrooms and mechanical spaces, and new finishes in other areas. Currently, phase 1, the conversion of a hydro therapy room and nurses’ office into one of the meeting rooms, has been completed.
Phase 1 Completed 2011. Additional Phases Ongoing
