Project Scope:

Renovations are being completed at 991 West Hudson Blvd to expand the capabilities of the Gaston County Department of Health and Human Services. The renovation includes an interior remodel to better facilitate public health operations by widening hallways, opening previously enclosed office space, and improving wayfinding through better layout and signage. This project will improve wayfinding for the general public and increase capabilities and service quality through expanded service areas, easing public navigation of the space, and increasing throughput on hallways to allow for easier access for patients and staff.

Background:

A programming study and public workshops identified an opportunity for improvement at the Hudson Health Department building. The building was constructed in 1989 with long narrow hallways, small, enclosed offices. This design limited navigability and presented challenges for continued growth of public health services.
