CCD Architects continued its long-standing relationship with the Methodist Rehabilitation Center (MRC) in developing an Outpatient Therapy Center in Clinton, Mississippi, for their physical, occupational, speech and neurological therapy patients. CCD faced a unique challenge when MRC obtained an existing former Pizza Hut and instructed to turn it into a first-class health care facility meeting MRC’s strict standards. Designing various scenarios, it was determined that the best course of action was to remove the upper part of the building structure, leaving the concrete floor slab, and design a new facility from the ground up. the 3,600 SF “new” facility utilizes all the accessibility and healthcare standards required by MRC, and follows the Comprehensive Interior Design Standards created by CCD. The facility contains a large open “gym like” clinic area, multiple Exam, Speech and Orthopedic Exam rooms, and a kitchen to re-create an at-home active daily living rehab area.
