Wilcox Family Dentistry is ready to move into their new location within the Franklin Business Center off of Franklin Ave, Sauk Rapids.  The modern, dynamic space comes to life through the use of a gray color palette with vibrant green accents.  An existing skylight was utilized and windows were added to provide natural light throughout the space.  The 3,500 square foot space includes four treatment rooms and associated support spaces.  Because this tenant build-out was being constructed in an adjacent building, Wilcox Family Dentistry was able to continue operations in their existing space without interruption until the new space was complete.

 

When the new owners purchased the Franklin Business Center at 1201 Franklin Avenue Northeast in St. Cloud, they turned to GLTArchitects to redesign the building’s exterior.  The owner’s wanted the building to have a more modern, iconic look.  GLTArchitects developed numerous digital models to show various design and color options.  The final design incorporates the look of stone and wood to highlight each tenant’s entry.  A second building with a similar aesthetic is planned to be built nearby.
