Sunshine Pediatric Day Center held a groundbreaking on its Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care Center facility in Fort Worth, Texas. Oculus Inc., provided architectural design services for a new ground up prototype. Frank Dale Construction is serving as the Design-Builder for the 7,500-square-foot facility and is partnering with the center on their rollout of facilities across Texas. This will be the organization’s second location in Texas, which is expected to open to the public in early 2023.
FDC, Oculus and the rest of the design-build team worked with the client during the design and preconstruction phase to balance their needs, wants and budget, delivering a solution that met their expectations.
The center focuses on meeting the medical, developmental, physical, nutritional and social needs of children who require intermittent, short, or long-term skilled nursing care. The prototype design includes play areas, PT/OT and speech therapy treatment room, quiet room, and support spaces.
