Eastman institute for Oral Health Renovations (EIOH)
University of Rochester Medical Center
Rochester, New York
The Eastman Institute of Oral Health is continuing a century old tradition of providing state of the art dental care for the underserved population of the Rochester Community. The original facility was dedicated in 1978, and recently underwent a series of rehabilitation projects in order to realize the Institute’s strategic vision.
Razak Associates tackled the first major hurdle for this project by facilitating the submission of a NYS HEAL Grant for $5 million. The secured funding was applied to programs around 20,000 SF, including an Urgent Care Center, entrance and lobby/atrium renovation, general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, periodontology/ prosthodontics, and various building upgrades.
Phase II of renovations included the design of a (7) operatory Special Needs Care Clinic on the 2nd level and the expansion of the adjacent Interdisciplinary Faculty Practice with the addition of (3) operatories. On the concourse level, a vacant lab area was renovated to provide educational support space and reference library for residents. On the 4th through 7th floors, several under-utilized laboratories were converted into administrative offices and support spaces.
