Orthopedic care office repurposed to facilitate physical therapy and rehabilitation services

The Barrington Orthopedic Specialists in Elk Grove Village, Ill., has been renovated and expanded by Meridian Design Build. The project, which was completed in just 64 working days, involved the full renovation of an existing single-story office building to repurpose it for medical use. The design includes a physical therapy gym, exam rooms, cast rooms, imaging areas, and full-service rehabilitation facilities. The addition accommodates reception and waiting areas and a covered patient drop-off canopy. Arete-Knight provided architectural, structural, MEP/fire protection, and interior design services.
