Architecture Firm Receives New Outpatient Radiology Center Commission

For Immediate Release (05/11/09)

Bernstein & Associates, Architects is pleased to announce that it has been selected to plan and design a new outpatient radiology center, within a prominent community health center, in Boston, MA.

The project includes radiology planning and radiology room design of multiple radiology modalities including ultrasound room design, digital mammography room design and digital radiography room design. In addition, there is a separate women's center will have typical support space such as dressing rooms, offices, reception and waiting.

An important consideration in the design of this radiology renovation, is the requirement that the radiology center remain in continuous operation throughout the renovation. This requires careful consideration of the new radiology plan, in terms of how the radiology plan can be phased to allow the facility to remain in continuous operation.

The project will be designed to reinforce the important role of the community health center in the health of the surrounding community.
