HMN Architects partnered with HNTB to provide architectural, interior design, and planning services for Durrie Vision’s relocation and expansion project. Durrie Vision, a refractive surgery and research facility specializing in laser vision correction, moved their corporate office down the road from their previous location.

The relocation increased their medical office footprint by 50% – from 10,000 to 15,000 SF. The additional space allowed Durrie Vision to add a laser suite to accommodate the increasing demand for vision correction procedures.

With the location selected, the team began designing the renovation work to accommodate the staff and patient needs. The medical office space divided into three main areas – eye clinic, Lasik suite, and administrative.

The eye clinic is the first area that patients see as they enter the facility. There is a reception desk, 11 exam rooms, testing areas, counselor offices, and staff workspaces. The new office expands the total number of laser vision correction suites to three, including a suite specifically designed to perform the SMILE laser eye surgery using a VisuMax femtosecond laser, approved in 2016, and is one of the latest advancement in laser eye surgery. The Lasik suite also includes a sub-sterile room, four pre/post-exam rooms, testing areas, and various support spaces. Administrative space encompasses the offices, break room, and conference rooms.
