Renovation to the Arthritis & Osteoporosis Center - (A.O.C.)
Traverse City, Michigan
The existing 4,000 s.f. masonry building was renovated for the Arthritis & Osteoporosis Center in a residential neighborhood, in Traverse City, Michigan. The exterior of the building was refaced with composite wood siding, furred out to provide the proper insulation value to the wall assembly. Historic architectural elements of clerestory cupola, covered low profile entrance roof and a colonnade of pilaster elements on the main elevations, tie the building to the adjoining neighborhood.
The facility houses a number of exams rooms, physicians, and administrative office, lobby space, reception and employee areas. The renovation corresponds nicely with the historical aspects of the neighborhood and creates a major focal point and entrance element to the city proper.
