Former Kentucky Wal-Mart renovated into health center

T.J. Sampson Health Pavilion houses outpatient services including kidney care, lab services, radiology, rehabilitation, urgent care, women's health and physician offices

By Healthcare Facilities Today


The T.J. Sampson Health Pavilion that now stands in Glasgow, Ky. is the product of a two-year Wal-Mart renovation that blended clean, modern lines, innovative design elements and a color scheme that creates a contemporary healthcare oasis, according to an article in Medical Design and Construction magazine.

The facility houses outpatient services including kidney care, lab services, radiology, rehabilitation, urgent care, women’s health and physician offices. It also serves as a community center with meeting spaces and a walking track that’s open to residents.

“Since we weren’t just designing a healthcare facility, but a place where the community could gather, we wanted our design to reflect a high-tech, bright environment that would maintain a pristine, state-of-the-art look for years to come,” Pam Faulkner, senior designer and head designer for the Sampson project, said in the article.

“The 225,000-square-foot facility is a complete square with a walking track to encourage guests to exercise. To keep it interesting for those using the walking track, we created a random, wave pattern on the floor,” said Faulkner. “This was drawn to ensure that no two areas of flooring were the same. Not only is it visually interesting for those walking, but it also serves as a wayfinding tool that emphasizes a certain direction of traffic.”
