| Description: |
Turning a former grocery store into the Southeast Missouri Hospital Health Point Plaza is not only good for supporting a healthy community but also environmentally intelligent!
Through the guidance of Integrated Architecture and aquatic designers Counsilman-Hunsaker, Southeast Missouri Hospital transformed the former Albertson’s building into adaptive reuse. Thus, redeveloping older buildings where utility infrastructure and ingress/egress from previous development already exists preserves green fields, specie habitats and natural resources in undisturbed areas.
The primary fitness concourse houses a full-court basketball gymnasium, state-of the art fitness center, and three aerobic studios. With a significant community response, the plaza not only offers traditional health and fitness activities but also provides an aquatic atrium offering rejuvenation of the mind and body. A warm-water therapy pool is strategically designed in a 30 by 40 foot swimming pool and a spacious whirlpool spa, both flooded with plenty of uplifting natural light.
Other amenities include 1/11 mile track, multi-purpose rooms, community education facilities and a demonstration kitchen.
