Total Dermatology

Business Interiors is proud to have provided comprehensive wall solutions for Total Dermatology during the substantial expansion of their downtown Birmingham location. This 25,000 sq ft, two-floor project was part of the continued historical renovation of the Woodward Building. Birmingham firm CCR Architecture and Interiors led the project design, with Rives Construction serving as the general contractor.

Precision Scope and Acoustic Priority

The primary challenge was maintaining privacy within the clinical setting. Specifically, client confidentiality was crucial, making soundproofing a vital factor. Falkbuilt effectively addressed this issue by integrating insulation into the solid walls to enhance acoustic performance. As a result, the walls achieved STC ratings of up to STC 53, effectively minimizing sound transfer between rooms.

Business Interiors provided the full Falkbuilt wall solution, totaling 2,906 lineal feet across two floors. The scope included walls for key areas: the lobby, exam rooms, waiting rooms, procedure rooms, conference rooms, offices, restrooms, kitchen, bar, and storage rooms.

Architectural Versatility

BI’s Architectural Product division collaborated closely with CCR on the project’s design development. We offered 3-D virtual walkthroughs of the space, along with plans, elevations, finish options, and renderings prior to finalizing the design. The project clearly highlights the versatility of Falkbuilt’s robust solutions, which included a diverse range of materials and functions:

  • Wall Types: The installation featured solid walls, glass walls, glass transoms, curved glass transoms, curved stacked solid walls, graphic laminated glass, and an operable wall.

  • Door Types: We included pivot and sliding doors, glass and wood doors, lever set and bar pull hardware, and access control hardware.

  • Cladding: Finishes utilized 3D laminate, woodgrain laminate, back painted glass, custom graphic glass, and fabric cladding.

Integrated Millwork

Falkbuilt solutions were successfully used for all custom millwork throughout the facility. This provided seamless integration and consistency. The millwork scope covered all custom cabinetry, including exam rooms, procedure rooms, nurse stations, kitchen cabinets, bar cabinets, work areas, storage, and wardrobe cabinets, as well as all solid surfaces.

Total Dermatology offers a variety of specialized dermatological services, including medical, surgical, and cosmetic treatments. Their full-service spa, Total on 1st, is also located in the downtown Woodward Building. It provides a range of spa and medical-grade skincare services, further establishing the Woodward Building as a comprehensive wellness hub.

UAB Medical West Hospital

UAB Medical West’s new $400 million hospital officially opened in August of 2024. In addition to the 412,000-square-foot, nine-story hospital, the campus also houses a 127,000-square-foot, seven-story medical office building.

Located in McCalla, Alabama, and serving the Birmingham-area rural communities, the facility replaced an existing hospital originally built in the 1960’s. The new 200-bed hospital features a robotic surgical and endoscopy suite, state-of-the-art imaging technology, cardiac services, more intensive care beds, and a 30-room emergency department.

Architecture firms HKS and Birmingham’s KPS Group collaborated on the project, with the goals to provide technologically advanced care environments for the local community while also staying true to the local Southern landscape and honoring the hospitality of Alabama’s residents. The campus design reflects the surrounding natural environment, aiming to create a more soothing atmosphere for patients, visitors, and staff.

Business Interiors is proud to have provided full solutions for the entire project, both for the hospital and the medical office building. BI’s scope included the main lobby, dining center, ER waiting and patient bays, staff offices and conference rooms, gift shop, lab, pharmacy, café, chapel, hospital patient rooms, behavioral health suite, and all waiting areas in the nine-story hospital, as well as all the executive offices and boardroom, break rooms, file rooms, training rooms, workstations, and clinic spaces with waiting and exam rooms in the five-story MOB.

Baker Donelson | Birmingham Office

Business Interiors is proud to have been involved in the relocation of Baker Donelson’s Birmingham office earlier this year. One of the city’s largest law firms, Baker Donelson, moved from the Shipt Tower to 1901 Sixth Avenue (formerly known as Regions Harbert Plaza) as part of the company’s initiative to provide updated workspaces for their modern workforce.

KPS Group was the A+D firm on the project. The BI team was tasked with providing furnishing solutions that fulfilled Baker Donelson’s needs and aligned with KPS’s design intent.

The beautiful new office space includes flexible workspaces for hoteling, standard-sized individual offices, and communal areas for teamwork. A large employee lounge is one of several collaborative spaces, featuring comfortable seating and booths with charging outlets, creating a cozy coffee shop ambiance.

The project scope covered two floors, 40+ workstations and 60 private offices, as well as various collaboration, breakroom, and meeting spaces.

Parry Labs

Parry Labs recently expanded their Huntsville, AL, footprint into a new 36,000-square-foot location. As a government contractor, the new location gives Parry Labs easier access to Redstone Arsenal, The Gateway, and Bridge Street Town Center. Their innovative hardware products and digitally engineered technology platforms give the U.S. Department of Defense a fighting edge and upgraded capacity across all their services.

Huntsville’s Fuqua & Partners Architects was the A+D firm on the project, which spearheaded the daunting task of renovating a former Tyson chicken facility and test kitchen into what would become Parry Labs’ new, modern office. Business Interiors’ Huntsville team has a long relationship with Parry Labs, including working on several other locations around the United States.

The furniture and wall system scope throughout the project included the integration of Falkbuilt walls, the coordinated move of 24 existing workstations from their previous location, and the addition of 40 new workstations, as well as new private offices, multi-use and collaborative spaces, conference rooms, and a large break room.
