FRC Breast Center of Loudoun

For the design of their new 8,000 sf Breast Center of Loudoun (BCL), Fairfax Radiology Centers sought to seamlessly combine the most innovative technology and procedures with a hospitality-like experience. BCL comprises mammography rooms, bone density rooms, ultrasound rooms, and a stereo biopsy room. The state-of-the-art treatment rooms surround a large patient waiting area and changing rooms. In order to create a calming environment that provides specialized care for women, the client prioritized elements of a spa-like experience. In the spacious patient lobby, seating is organized around custom movable partitions with nature-inspired window film, designed for both safety and privacy. The centerpiece of the space is a biophillic hydro moss green wall punctuated with preserved roses and flowers. Directly off the lobby, patients are guided through a check-in area into a very large dressing area with a furniture-like case goods. The floral theme continues throughout with an art program of abstract pieces with a floral reference. Durable but elegant finishes include patterned wall coverings, carpet, luxury vinyl tile flooring, and stone counters punctuated with non-institutional lighting fixtures and hospitality-inspired accent furniture. Additional work in the build-out within an existing MOB includes an entirely new HVAC system with dedicated units for each room. The BCL is both functional and beautiful, a space designed to meet both the physical and emotional needs of patients seeking the highest quality of care.
