Austin Medical Building Renovation
Specialized healthcare coatings for patient care environments
Project Overview
A multi-specialty medical office building in central Austin required comprehensive interior renovation to meet updated healthcare facility standards. The 3-story building houses primary care physicians, specialists, and outpatient procedure rooms, serving 300+ patients daily across 12 medical practices.
Our specialized healthcare facility team implemented strict infection control protocols while painting patient care areas, exam rooms, waiting rooms, and common corridors. We used zero-VOC, antimicrobial coating systems approved for healthcare environments, working room-by-room to maintain full operational capacity throughout the 5-week project.
Healthcare Coating Features
- • Zero-VOC paint systems
- • Antimicrobial coatings
- • Scrubbable wall finishes
- • Patient room specifications
- • Exam room coatings
- • Odor-free formulations
- • Infection control compliance
- • Calming color palettes
Healthcare Compliance & Standards
- Coatings: Zero-VOC antimicrobial paint systems approved for healthcare use
- Infection Control: Strict protocols including PPE, containment barriers, and HEPA filtration
- Standards: FGI Guidelines for medical facilities and Joint Commission requirements
- Durability: Class A scrubbable finishes rated for hospital-grade cleaning chemicals
- Color Psychology: Healing-focused color palettes scientifically proven to reduce patient anxiety
Challenge & Solution
Challenge: The medical building could not close for renovations. All 12 medical practices needed to maintain full patient schedules, requiring odor-free coatings and same-day room turnover. Additionally, strict infection control protocols were mandatory for a building serving immunocompromised patients.
Solution: We implemented a room-by-room schedule coordinated with each medical practice. Using zero-VOC, fast-drying healthcare coatings, we completed exam rooms overnight and returned them to service by morning. Our team maintained negative air pressure during painting, used HEPA filtration, and followed strict sterile protocols approved by the facility's infection control officer.
Results
- ✓ Zero patient appointment cancellations during renovation
- ✓ Passed Joint Commission inspection with zero findings
- ✓ Patient satisfaction scores increased 18% post-renovation
- ✓ Antimicrobial coatings reduce surface pathogen transmission
- ✓ Modern aesthetics attract new physician tenants
