RDG in the Media: The Iowa Clinic – South Waukee Campus Featured
Healthcare Snapshots features RDG's design for The Iowa Clinic's newest patient-centric facility in Waukee, Iowa.
The Iowa Clinic is the largest physician-owned multi-specialty group in central Iowa, with more than 250 physicians and healthcare providers practicing in more than 40 specialties. Upon determining a need for a new location in the growing area of Waukee, Iowa, RDG Planning & Design collaborated with The Iowa Clinic to design a new forward-thinking project that introduces a unique blend of clinical services, ambulatory surgery and Iowa’s first outpatient cardiac catheterization lab under one roof.
RDG’s design for the facility incorporates a sense of welcome, easy access and clear wayfinding throughout. To weave in aspects of The Iowa Clinic’s brand, the design utilizes metal, stone-look porcelain and wood-look composite panels, conveying a modern aesthetic that fits the surrounding community. Inside, features like a modern, warm grey-tone color palette and stone and wood-like materials connect to the exterior design.
Since opening in 2024, the South Waukee Campus has provided patients with convenient access to multiple specialties in one location. With the addition of the cardiac catheterization lab, cardiac catheterization can now be performed in an outpatient setting, addressing the growing issue of heart disease in Iowa. Both the medical office building and the ambulatory surgery center are designed for expansion, with built-in adaptability to respond to the community's growing health needs.
