Construction Complete on Noah Cholla Health Center

Construction is complete on the Neighborhood Outreach Access to Health Cholla Health Center in Scottsdale, Arizona. Ware Malcomb provided interior architecture and design services for the approximately 32,000-square-foot medical office facility. The project team also included Integrity Building Corp.

The project transformed an existing car dealership into a two-story healthcare facility that includes 24 medical exam rooms, six dental care and operatory spaces, 20 counseling and psychiatric offices, a group therapy area, a play therapy room, psychiatric triage room, onsite lab services, a multi-purpose room and offices for community resources support.

While carefully designing all the required programming in the space for this new clinic, Ware Malcomb worked closely with NOAH to capitalize on the building’s high freeway visibility and achieve a large, open lobby space with an elevated design. To accommodate the new lobby design, the team expanded the second level by 1,071 square feet.

The additions to the second level required structural engineering for the added floor area, as well as a new feature staircase within the lobby. The new clinic replaces three of NOAH’s former health center locations and will serve as the organization’s largest health center in terms of floor area.
