Physical Therapy Clinic Renovation — Clinic Layout Modification in The Loop, Chicago
The Project

The Challenge & Our Approach

The Challenge

What We Were Up Against

The clinic stayed open for the whole project. Patients were coming in for therapy sessions a few steps from where walls were being demolished and the ceiling was open, so the work could not interrupt treatment, spread dust into the clinic, or leave anything in the way of patients and staff.

Every phase was planned around the active practice: the work area was sealed off, finished areas were covered, and noisy and dusty work was scheduled so sessions could carry on.

Our Approach

How We Built It

Because the clinic stayed open, the plan started with how to keep patients and therapists unaffected. Before demolition, the work area was sealed off from the rest of the clinic with plastic sheeting, floors and furniture in the adjacent areas were covered, and a clear path was kept for patients and staff. Noisy and dusty work was scheduled around therapy sessions, and the site was cleaned at the end of each shift.

With the area contained, the walls between the three rooms came out and the ceiling was opened to rework the grid for the new layout. The electrical was adjusted while the ceiling and walls were open, then the drywall was patched and finished, the ceiling was closed back up with new tiles and lights in place, and the room was painted. The clinic gained one large treatment area without closing its doors.

Scope of Work

What We Built

The scope of work for this physical therapy clinic was a layout modification inside an operating practice. The existing walls between three small rooms were removed to create one large, open treatment area. With the walls gone, the dropped ceiling was reconfigured: the grid was adjusted to the new room, and tiles and light fixtures were reset so the ceiling reads as one continuous space. Where walls had been removed, the drywall was patched and finished smooth, and the space was repainted. Electrical was adjusted to match the new layout, with outlets and switches relocated or removed as needed.

Physical Therapy Clinic Renovation — finished
Result

The Finished Space

Three small rooms are now one large, open treatment area along the windows, with daylight reaching the whole floor. The reworked ceiling grid gives the new room clean, even lighting, the walls are finished smooth and freshly painted, and outlets and switches sit where the new layout needs them. The clinic gained a much more usable space for therapy without closing its doors.

Neighborhood

Building in The Loop

Clinics in the Loop operate inside multi-tenant buildings with their own rules for contractors: certificates of insurance, freight elevator and loading dock bookings, and limits on when loud or dusty work can happen. With patients coming in every day, the work also had to be planned around the clinic’s own schedule.
