Western Maine Health - Norway, MENorway, ME Landry/French Construction Company is in its final last weeks of construction on the new 25,500 s/f medical office building for Western Maine Health.
Landry/French is serving as the construction manager for the new patient-centered medical home being built on the site of the former C.B. Cummings & Sons dowel mill on Pikes Hill Rd. The new building will accommodate Oxford Hills Internal Medicine and merge the primary care practices of Western Maine Family and Oxford Hills Family Practice. The Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) is a national model to delivery primary care that can lead to higher quality and lower costs.
Designed by SMRT, the exterior is a contemporary take on the downtown while blending into the nearby residential neighborhood. With pitched roofs, clean lines, a simple material palette and volumes that are organized at a more residential scale. Another goal of the design is to project an image to the community that Western Maine Health medical office building is a modern healthcare facility.
The building is built to the Efficiency of Maine Advanced Building Program Standards.
