WAUKEE, IA — RDG Planning & Design recently joined The Iowa Clinic to celebrate the official opening of the health care institution's latest facility. The new facility continues a partnership between RDG and The Iowa Clinic, following collaborations on several local clinics in surrounding communities, including Grimes, Adel, the North Waukee - Alice's Road dermatology clinic, and a new specialty infusion center in West Des Moines.

Strategically located in Waukee, Iowa's Kettlestone development along Grand Prairie Parkway, RDG's design for this project introduces a blend of clinical services, ambulatory surgery, and Iowa’s first outpatient cardiac catheterization lab under one roof.

“This project embodies The Iowa Clinic's commitment to providing the best possible patient care. We’re deeply proud to help bring to life a facility that meets the comprehensive needs of today's health care landscape and also anticipates the demands of tomorrow,” said RDG Interior Designer and Senior Partner Leann Pederson, IIDA, CHID, LEED AP.

Design for the clinic encompasses approximately 56,000 square feet of space, including a 35,000-square-foot medical office building and a 21,000-square-foot ambulatory surgery center. Designed for expansion, the center aims to adapt to the growing health needs of Waukee's residents, offering services ranging from urgent care and imaging to family medicine, orthopedics, and pediatrics. RDG provided architecture and interior design services in collaboration with Ryan Companies (contractor), Shive-Hattery (civil engineering), and Raker Rhodes (structural engineering).
