Overview of Centerville Family Medicine
The Centerville Family Medicine New Location in Lancaster, Pennsylvania continued Warfel’s work with Penn Medicine/Lancaster General Health. On a relatively small plot, the 9,000-square-foot clinic required careful planning. The design focused on efficient space utilization while making room for the building and ample parking. Because every part of the site needed purpose, the project connected access, stormwater, design, and patient experience. The result is a clinic that feels welcoming and practical without letting the compact property define the experience.
Centerville Family Medicine Site Strategy
Centerville Family Medicine needed a site strategy that made the parking area work harder. Instead of treating stormwater as a separate challenge, the design integrated that system with the parking lot. Permeable paving and an underground retention basin helped manage water within the limited site. In turn, the solution met parking needs while promoting environmental sustainability. This kept the property efficient while creating a clear arrival experience for patients and staff.
Exterior Design and Building Form
The clinic’s facade uses high-end finishes, including a thin brick panelized system and architectural block elements. Expansive glass storefronts bring natural light into the building and help the entry feel more open. Behind the finished exterior, a steel structural frame supports the flat-roofed medical office. A concrete slab-on-grade foundation also gives the building a stable base. Together, these choices create a polished exterior that feels approachable for everyday patient care.
Interior Finishes and Patient Experience
Inside, modern finishes balance durability with a more comfortable patient experience. A metal panel ceiling system gives the clinic a clean, contemporary look. Meanwhile, rustic wood paneling adds warmth and character along an accent wall. Resilient flooring helps manage high-traffic use while keeping the interior inviting. At the entry, a curved solid surface reception desk with glass panels creates a refined first impression. Decorative accent lighting also helps the clinic feel more welcoming for patients and staff.
Project Completion and Healthcare Construction
The HVAC and electrical systems were selected for performance, energy efficiency, and reliability. Together with the site planning and interior finishes, these systems support a clinic built for daily use. For Warfel, the completed Centerville Family Medicine location came down to careful, practical choices: making the most of a compact site while creating a comfortable experience for patients and staff.
