Arkansas Psychiatry and Behavioral Health

Located a few blocks from Baptist Hospital on Aldersgate Road, the Arkansas Psychiatry and Behavior Health Building is sited adjacent to the woods. As a facility to serve four doctors and support staff, the clinic is designed to accommodate family therapy as well as that of individual patients. With emphasis on creating surroundings that represent a non-threatening environment, the clinic exterior and interior have an overall soothing color palette. The residential form of the clinic invokes a warm and friendly atmosphere at a personal scale. In response to the need to separate entry and exits from one another for maximum client privacy, a double corridor circulation system was implemented. With careful articulation of clerestory windows in these corridors, daylight is allowed to enliven what would otherwise have been a dark hall. These same windows will serve light to the second floor expansion of the clinic which is currently being used for storage. Program requirements included doctor’s offices, therapy rooms, separate waiting areas for families and adults, a children’s play area, play therapy, and exam rooms.

ASID Regional Silver Award, 2016

Black River Technical College Health/Science Complex

Allison was chosen to design a new, 40,000 s.f., two-story nursing and science lab building at Black River Technical College located in Pocahontas. In response to growing demand, the project is the college’s most ambitious building project to date and exhibits the latest design trends in academic and lab design including open, flexible and durable spaces, glass walls and doors for transparency; inviting public spaces for gathering of students for study; and collaboration and energy efficient design.

The building houses the entire nursing department including offices for faculty, computer and teaching labs with compressed video capabilities and nursing simulation labs. In addition, the new building also houses the science department including four new laboratories, supporting preparatory rooms and faculty offices and a greenhouse. The greenhouse includes fans, automatic venting, misting systems, heaters and shades. The greenhouse design and site location allows for future expansion.
