PRIVATE HEALTHCARE DESIGN
GORDON & ASSOCIATES, ARCHITECTS,
DESIGNS TWO OF THE LARGEST,
MOST EFFICIENT UROLOGY CENTERS
IN THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S.,
IN FLORIDA AND LOUISIANA
Mount Dora, FL -- Internationally acclaimed Gordon & Associates, Architects, of Mount Dora, recently provided architectural, interior design and construction phase services for two of the largest, most efficient urology centers in the southeastern U.S., located in Florida and Louisiana. The state-of-the-art, ultra-efficient facilities include the 32,000-square-foot Southeastern Urological Center which opened last year in Tallahassee, and the 30,000-square-foot Regional Urology Center currently under construction in Shreveport, Louisiana. A recognized leader in private healthcare design, Gordon & Associates provides fine quality medical service environments - primarily ambulatory surgery centers - throughout the U.S., South America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
Committed exclusively to the private medical community since 1977, Gordon & Associates, Architects, delivers unmatched expertise in efficiency and productivity, principally in Gastroenterology, Ophthalmology, Orthopaedics and Urology. Led by owner and chief architect Michael L. Gordon, AIA, NCARB, the firm has designed and developed over 100 ambulatory surgery centers and over 120 medical clinics during its 24 years in practice. By design, the firm also provides construction phase services to control issues regarding quality, schedule and cost - the essential elements for a successful construction process.
In addition, Gordon & Associates is known as "an architect's architect," and for example, was retained by Cesar Pelli & Associates to design the 20,000-square-foot first floor ambulatory surgery center in the 135,000-square-foot Cleveland Clinic Eye Institute in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1998-1999. The firm has also been retained by Fleischman-Garcia Architects of Tampa as outpatient surgery center consultant for Meese Hospital in Clearwater, and has served as consultant for architects in several states and countries including Turkey, Japan and Australia.
"Our mission," says Gordon, "is to design and develop 'a well place' that provides both efficiency and comfort as a product of the design - for patients, physicians and staff. Increased efficiency and productivity lets doctors see more patients per day and improves daily attitudes and quality of life for all concerned. At Gordon Architects, we understand physicians' practices and needs. What sets us apart is that we understand the business of their profession. It's a matter of controlling costs in their own surgery centers. The commonality in the centers we've designed is that doctors see more patients per day which is more cost-effective each and every day."
With a staff of nine including licensed architects, intern architects and licensed interior designers, Gordon continues, "We've earned a reputation for creating value within the industry and bringing quality back into medicine. We've come up with designs and development formulas for 'putting it back together,' and adding immeasurably to the value equation. Professionally, it's rewarding," concludes Gordon, "but nothing makes us more proud than the relationships we've built with our clients. Also, it's especially rewarding that our dedicated professional staff continues to build upon this legacy - each and every day."
