Our clients have found that professional assistance from a firm with a strong background in long-term care design makes a big difference.

We also work with clients in the planning and programming phase. If we can be involved early in the process, prior to beginning architectural design, we can assist with evaluation options resulting in a building program that is more on-target to the needs of the facility. Through this team approach at initial phases, our experience in planning and programming will result in a design that fulfills the needs more effectively. We encourage you to take advantage of our experience with pre-design services in addition to the normal design process.

We also have the personnel and experience to provide LEED design and certification, life-cycle cost analysis, and master planning. The most important element of our service is our continuity of personal contact with our Client, which is essential to the successful completion of your projects.

Sustainable DesignThe project team is dedicated to innovative, environmentally sensitive design solutions and we recognize that saving energy begins

with teamwork. We have learned that a significant reduction in energy consumption can be achieved by involving our clients in the

initial establishment of the project’s energy goals and in the examination of decisions made during the design process. We realize the

significance of “green” concepts and will provide the necessary leadership in order to take advantage of such concepts. The project

team will identify and recommend sustainable concepts, allowing the client to make informed decisions relative to the planning of

various facility components.

PROJECT APPROACH

ction Documents

BIM ProcessPeters and Associates, Architects, P. C. has adopted the Building Information Modeling (BIM) process as a standard of practice to

provide our clients with the best possible solutions on schedule and within budget. This process has proven to reduce coordination

issues by modeling facility components in a comprehensive, three-dimensional virtual environment. The BIM process is no longer a

linear, top-down organizational method like that of its predecessors, but an integrated process through which information is

continuously shared between all disciplines.

COMMUNITY MEMORIAL HEALTH CENTER

SKILLED NURSING PRELIMINARY POD DESIGN

This Patient-Centered Care unit was created as a result of the clients request for a home-like environment for their Alzheimer patients. The pod design included 14 private patient rooms with private toilets. The client requested to have only a central bath in lieu of private bathing facilities in each room; which is now becoming common in patient centered care facilities.

A centrally located nurse workstation allows the nurse to have visibility to all patient rooms and exits. The kitchen was designed to allow patients and staff to cook desserts and minor meals. The central atrium space is designed to bring in important natural daylight giving patients and staff a better indoor environment. This pod is connected directly to the main nursing home which provided other services such as physical therapy and food service. Peters & Associates Architects, P.C. strives to work with the client to provide the best option that meets their needs and the workflow of their staff.

GEOGRAPHICAL AREA

OF PRACTICEPeters and Associates, Architects, P.C. has provided professional services for multiple projects at a distance. Our completed works are located throughout Nebraska, each surrounding state, as well as other distant states.

To effectively respond to our large market area, we operate a company aircraft, which has greatly enhanced our mobility. The efficiency that private flying affords our personnel has enabled us to maintain the control over projects located at a distance, which is critical to their successful completion.

We provide complete architectural services for all of our projects, including administration of the construction contract. The use of private aviation has made it practical for our firm to pursue projects at a distance. Drive times of 5 hours are normally reduced to less than 1½ hours by flying, allowing more efficient use our time, and significantly expanding our market area.
