The Adamsville Regional Health and Community Center was unique in the fact that it would be serving multiple purposes as a primary care clinic, child-care facility, dental clinic, and workforce community center. To accomplish all these things under one roof, Stanley Beaman & Sears set a goal to make the building feel vibrant and alive through architecture. The roof was conceived as a metaphoric blanket for the building, and the two-story entrance atrium serves as a connecting link between the various functions of the building. Quilting is a social activity in the community, so the architects used quilt patterns as well as the collaged paintings of Atlanta artist Radcliff Bailey for inspiration in the building by connecting things that don’t traditionally go together and creating a randomized pattern on the façade.
The 34,000-square-foot facility was constructed in an underserved community in Atlanta. The building houses primary care, dental, and behavioral health clinics as well as childcare facilities.
