Halstead Architects

The goal of this project wasn’t just expansion—it was creating a more connected and efficient space for the community it serves.

The addition to the Brookside Building allowed the John H. B***r Center to bring multiple services together under one roof, helping improve accessibility, collaboration, and the overall experience for clients.

The existing Brookside wing was renovated to support a new social program, including open and private offices along with a new entrance and lobby space designed to create a more welcoming environment.

Projects like this highlight how thoughtful planning and design can help organizations operate more effectively while better supporting the people who rely on them every day.

In early May, HealthNet, Inc. celebrated the completion of the new retail pharmacy at the Barrington Health Center — another project completed in partnership with Halstead Architects.

Expanding beyond the original pharmacy footprint within the Raymond Street facility, the new space located in the former HealthNet administration building allows for expanded retail and specialty pharmacy services while continuing to support the broader healthcare needs of the community.

The Barrington Health Center now provides a more comprehensive and accessible environment for patients, offering services including:
• General Medicine
• OB/GYN
• Pediatrics
• Vision Care
• Behavioral Health
• Chiropractic Care
• Podiatry
• Retail & Specialty Pharmacy Services

As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), HealthNet plays a critical role in providing affordable and accessible healthcare services to the community, and we’re proud to support that mission through thoughtful, functional design.

From the branded entry experience to the clean and modern pharmacy interior, every detail was planned to support both staff workflow and patient comfort.

Great design. Meaningful impact. Community focused.

We had a great time representing Halstead Architects at McCulloch Junior High School’s Career Day last week!

We enjoyed talking with students about architecture, design, construction, and the many different paths that can lead into the profession. From sketching ideas to seeing projects built in the community, it was exciting to share what architects do and hopefully inspire the next generation of designers and problem-solvers.

Thank you to McCulloch Junior High School for the invitation and for creating opportunities like this for students to explore future careers. We appreciate everyone who stopped by our table and asked great questions throughout the morning!
