Eglin Air Force Base Health & Wellness Center
An outstanding example of adaptive reuse and improvements to the quality of life for Air Force personnel, this state-of-the-art Health and Wellness Center was created from an underutilized Airmen’s Club. The design met its goal of providing an environment to increase morale, raise productivity, and foster healthy lifestyles. The building’s original décor featured low lighting levels and dark color schemes appropriate for a club, but far from ideal for a health center. Incandescent light was replaced with contemporary fluorescent fixtures, white paint and primary accent colors were used to open and brighten the dark, drab interior, and the old kitchen and serving line were converted into accessible locker rooms.
This project was nominated for the 1998 United States Air Force Honor Design Awards Program and received the Honor Award for Interior Design in recognition of our achievement of design excellence.
