Pharmacy Renovation:
CARES, Northern California's HIV/AIDS Healthcare Center

In order to address the exponential growth of the drug dispensing function at the CARES facility, the Blackbird Associates team was asked to assist with a two-phase renovation. The first phase was to relocate the existing pharmacy function into the board room on a temporary basis so that the construction could commence. The second phase was the construction of a new state-of-the-art out-patient pharmacy complete with the capability of robot dispensing in the future. The design, documentation and agency approval were completed more quickly than scheduled.

Tenant Improvement:
Dr. Kiesselbach's Oral Surgery

Today's oral surgery practice utilizes complex technology and many equipment items packed into tight spaces. The client, oral surgeon John Kiesselbach, relied on Blackbird Associates to solve a complex jigsaw puzzle in order to create a highly functional equipment floor and ceiling plan.

Dr. Kiesselbach's determination to attain a state of the art ambulatory surgery office included the desire to be approved by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, Inc.
