Presque Isle, ME – County Dialysis Center in  has moved into an expanded new space, with interior design solutions by WBRC Architects Engineers. The new 9,500sf facility, part of The Aroostook Medical Center (TAMC), is housed in leased space in a 1960s strip mall. The age of the building shell dictated that no changes be made to structure; this necessitated an additional layer of light gauge framing be added to support ductwork, plumbing, ceilings and lighting. Contractor for the project was A & L Construction.ter was reorganized to provide twelve larger, more comfortable dialysis cubicles for patients and improved access and sight lines for medical staff. Warm, wood-look flooring and bead board wainscoting create a non-clinical feel to the entire facility.

A prominent feature of the dialysis treatment room is a series of skylight-like light fixtures that seemingly bring the Aroostook County sky into view. Family and friends who drive patients to dialysis have their own waiting area with a view and natural light just inside the entrance.
