Chesterton, Indiana
This two-story, 34,960 square foot comprehensive specialized orthopedic care center featured six physicians' suites, 18 examination rooms, and six cast rooms. The facility also includes four radiography suites and a therapy area that included exercise bicycles and workout machines. In addition to the state-of-the-art facilities, the building features environmentally responsible sustainable design concepts, including the use of recycled ceiling and floor tiles, regionally-obtained construction materials, a high energy-efficiency rating, a low volatile organic chemical (VOC) rating, and an infiltrated stormwater drainage system instead of a more "traditional" retention pond. Inside and out, Tonn and Blank managed this green design from conception through completion.
