The project meets LEED Silver criteria and repurposes a historic building with a sensitive design approach, maintaining both interior and exterior character. Inside, it houses 27 exam rooms, a triage area, and mental health offices, while also incorporating an exercise and instructional room for prenatal group education and a nutritional instruction kitchen. Operating as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), it adheres to County of Alameda Green Building Guidelines for design and construction. The construction strategy was phased, with careful transition planning and swing space management, which included the design and coordination of a modular clinic to ensure uninterrupted operations during construction.
