Eye Surgery Center Morristown

5491 Creekwood Park Blvd, Lenoir City, TN 37772 United States

Building Area (sf): 8,400

Completion: August 2022

Morristown Eye Surgery Center is an eye care facility that efficiently serves its patients and their needs.

The building design splits a medical facility into two separate tenants that both focus on eye care. By working resourcefully with conventional construction techniques, the simple, rectangular form integrates resourceful, contemporary materials to create a facility that connects the community to the building. The front of the building is largely transparent in order to visually connect the occupants and the site. The backlit perforated metal facade illuminates the entries and the parking lot. This serves as a beacon to the community. A drive-thru drop-off is located at the end of the building adjacent to the surgery center entryway.

3 - The exterior and interior emit rhythm through its materiality. The exterior metal panel breaks apart the typical pre-engineered metal building frame mold and allows the space to uniquely set itself apart from adjacent buildings. Photos by Bruce Cole.
