Vanderbilt Children’s Surgery & Clinics – Murfreesboro

Southeast Venture provided tenant improvement and interior architecture services on this regional pediatric specialty care clinic for client, Vanderbilt University Medical Center.  A 37,500 SF, single-story building, this state-of-the-art facility includes programming for operating and recovery, a complete imaging suite, urgent care, urology, otolaryngology, gastroenterology, & orthopedics, with associated administrative & public spaces.

Once inside, natural light gives way to the central lobby and reception area marked by its clerestory height, warm wood accents, and the introduction of color.  A “paper doll” mobile, in recognition of one of the project’s leading donors, Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital, fills the volume overhead.  The use of a primary color palette and rounded overhead ceiling elements continues into the patient waiting areas in conjunction with a varied palette of textures & finishes.  Forward into the floor plan, color is further used as a tool to differentiate between the specialty clinic spaces & assist in building wayfinding.

The result is a playful & imaginative product, that is expected to provide exceptional care to the community for years to come.
