Project Overview

Located in Fleming Island, Florida, Clay Eye is a 22,000-square-foot ambulatory surgery center and clinical office designed by PQH Group Design to support comprehensive outpatient eye care. Completed in 2022, the $10 million facility integrates surgical, clinical, and administrative functions to streamline workflow and enhance patient experience.

This facility serves as a prototype for future regional expansion, setting a clear standard for efficiency, comfort, and technical performance in community-based healthcare design.

Design Approach

The design organizes clinical and surgical functions that prioritizes clarity and flow. Patient and staff circulation paths are intuitively separated, reducing congestion and maintaining privacy. Daylighting and interior transparency create a calm, welcoming atmosphere while supporting staff visibility and operational control.

The facility includes:

• 20 exam and evaluation rooms
• 3 Operating rooms
• 3 procedure rooms
• 9-bed PACU
• Sterile processing area
• Laboratory
• Waiting and sub-waiting areas
• Administrative offices
• AHCA Certification

Each area is designed for efficiency, flexibility, and future adaptability as Clay Eye’s practice expands and adds services.

Impact

Clay Eye represents a new model for outpatient surgical care in Florida, combining advanced ophthalmologic services with a patient-focused environment. By uniting clinical and surgical functions under one roof, the facility reduces patient travel, improves staff coordination, and supports long-term scalability for the provider’s regional healthcare expansion.
