Marin Health and Wellness
DESCRIPTION

The LEED Gold certified Marin County Health and Wellness Campus is the largest capital project in the County since the construction of the Marin County Civic Center in the 1960s.  The Department of Health and Human Services, in partnership with the Marin Community Clinic and other County social services, has created a model approach for centralized healthcare and wellness services at a single campus in the Canal District of San Rafael.  The location includes six light industrial buildings that formerly housed Lucasfilm’s Industrial Light & Magic and required major renovations before they could be occupied.  As sub-consultant to RMW Architecture & Interiors, RHAA was commissioned to design a welcoming and beautiful campus-like setting for the buildings that fosters the connections between the structures and the services contained within.  The landscape design also clarifies wayfinding for pedestrians and vehicular traffic.  The main feature of the landscape design concept is a large plaza for community gatherings nestled between the buildings with ornamental planting, water features, art elements and an informal play area for visiting children.
