This renovation took place along the prominent Mayfair road retail corridor in Wauwatosa, WI. A former fitness center was converted into a Audiology and ENT clinic and supporting business headquarters for Advanced Ear, Nose & Throat Specialists SC.

For the redesign of this building the existing structure was stripped to its structural shell and the street facing bay was completely removed so it could be reconfigured into a more desirable composition. The new street facade consists of a glass and aluminum panel tower resting on a natural stone base and complimented by a weathered steel body with an inset of butt glazed window wall. New openings were punched into the existing masonry with the remaining masonry re-painted white. The west elevation which faces the main parking area has added a weathered steel and glass entry tower as well as new windows in the existing masonry.

The renovation takes the opportunity to improve energy efficiency with greatly increased insulation at the walls, roof and new, high efficient mechanical systems.

Like the previous clinic done for Advanced Ear, Nose and Throat Specialists, acoustic treatments including wall and door assemblies capable of providing an appropriate environment for their practice was paramount. The detailing of these items will provide acoustic isolation surpassing requirements.
