JON STRAS, ARCHITECT

Mass General Brigham Ambulatory Care(previously Partners Healthcare), partnered with Gensler to develop a rollout of ambulatory care projects around New England. The first series of projects included a prototypical program and building in Westborough, Woburn, and Salem, NH. The program includes exam rooms, an imaging suite, and a full surgical suite. With each site being a different orientation, with a large public area at the approach, the goals of prefabrication and prototypical documentation posed a challenge. I lead the prefabrication investigation with the construction partners as well as leading the exterior development and detailing through the Design Development Phase.
