Indigenous Pact – Hope and Healing Clinic
Tribal healthcare consultancy group Indigenous Pact is on a mission to create healthy equity for American Indians and Alaska Natives within a single generation. To help advance that mission, they partnered with Boldt, Boulder Associates and DEMAIN to design, manufacture and install the Hope and Healing Clinic in western Washington. This freestanding specialty care clinic is part of a line of similar modular specialty care clinics designed to provide lifesaving services in historically underserved, often rural and tribal areas.
Comprising approximately 6,400 SF, the clinic includes a lobby / reception space, patient exam and treatment rooms, group spaces, patient toilet rooms, UA lab, staff toilet rooms, ample naturally lit staff work and break rooms, storage and utility spaces. By leveraging permanent modular construction, these essential services were brought online in far less time than required by traditional construction while mitigating risks posed by rural labor availability shortages.
Unlike many modular offerings on the market, the treatment centers are permanent, steel-framed structures, built to higher quality standards than traditional construction. Aesthetically, they are clad with the same materials seen in traditionally built construction, allowing clients to have both form and function.
Project Highlights
- The clinic is made up of 12 modules, built in Boldt’s prefabrication facility and shipped to be assembled by Boldt personnel on site.
- Module production was completed in five weeks, and overall design and construction time was reduced from 18 months to 8 months, a vast improvement on traditional construction methods and timelines.
