Corporate Wellness Center
Salt Lake City, Utah
Health & Wellness
An integrated workplace wellness environment designed to support employee health, retention, and organizational culture.
Located within a corporate office building in Salt Lake City, Utah, this confidential client sought to redefine employee wellness through a comprehensive, hospitality-driven center available to both employees and their families at no cost.
Irwin Raymond was engaged to develop the brand strategy, spatial programming, and interior architecture for a multi-service wellness facility embedded directly within the workplace. The objective was to create an environment that communicates care, accessibility, and long-term support—extending beyond traditional corporate benefits.
The center also offers select services to other building tenants for a fee, positioning it as both an employee amenity and a broader community resource.
The Challenge
The success of this project required blending healthcare functionality with hospitality-inspired design—within a corporate building context.
Key challenges included:
Designing a medical exam room comparable to a retail-based minute clinic
Integrating lifestyle services such as a barber shop, nail salon, aesthetician room, and massage treatment room
Creating a cohesive experience across diverse programmatic functions
Ensuring the environment felt elevated rather than institutional
Balancing privacy, accessibility, and operational efficiency
The wellness center needed to feel unified—despite the varied nature of its services.
Our Strategy
We approached the project through our healthcare-as-hospitality framework, aligning brand integration, spatial programming, and experience design from the outset.
Our strategy focused on:
Establishing a cohesive brand language across clinical and lifestyle spaces
Designing intuitive circulation that separates private treatment areas from communal amenities
Introducing hospitality-driven materials and lighting to soften clinical elements
Creating distinct yet connected zones for medical, grooming, and wellness services
Ensuring operational efficiency while maintaining a welcoming atmosphere
Every decision reinforced the intention of creating a space where employees feel genuinely supported.
The Design Solution
The final environment integrates healthcare and personal services within a unified architectural language.
The medical exam room provides discreet, professional care, while adjacent amenities—including barber, nail, aesthetic, and massage rooms—offer restorative services within a refined setting. Warm materials, thoughtful lighting, and clear wayfinding establish a hospitality-forward tone throughout the space.
The result is a workplace wellness center that feels approachable, comprehensive, and intentionally designed—supporting both convenience and well-being.
The Result
The project demonstrates how workplace design can directly influence organizational performance and culture.
The Corporate Wellness Center has delivered:
A differentiated employee benefit that reinforces company culture
Increased employee morale and perceived organizational support
Enhanced employee retention through accessible, integrated wellness services
Additional value generation through fee-based access for other building tenants
