  Comprehensive alterations and additions to an existing building in the north end of Burlington. A seven chair dental facility, an adult educational service and a medical resource program have been added to an extended 17 exam room out patient clinic Open planning, friendly and informal atmosphere, and easy circulation were key challenges.

Design features
Extensive use of natural lighting and many interior windows and glass doors create an extremely light feeling and easy visual connections throughout the building. Use of low VOC paints, cellulose insulation, metal roofing, air-to-air heat exchange and compact fluorescent lighting are logical choices for high indoor air quality. A new exterior band and canopy with extensive earth berming, coupled with an active solar energy band are functional and aesthetic elements anchoring the end of North Winooski Avenue.
