Lasalle Dental Expansion

An existing dental practice expanded into the neighbouring unit, with new examination rooms, a waiting area and a reworked layout to connect the two.

The dental practice expanded into the neighbouring unit. The new space holds several examination rooms, a bathroom, a waiting area, a computer station and access to the building's utilities.

The existing clinic's layout was also changed to open a way through into the new unit. Rooms in the existing clinic were repurposed to make up for the functions given up to create that access.
