The Austin Urology Institute’s renovation creates a nature-inspired, calming environment that reflects Dr. Shaw’s focus on patient comfort, while integrating advanced treatments and modern design elements like improved daylighting, accessibility, and state-of-the-art facilities.

The Waiting Area features cozy seating groups for families or individuals, with soft chairs, unique tables, and personal touches like a self-serve drink station. Light accents, botanical artwork, and a soothing fountain create a peaceful atmosphere.

The Nurse Station is the hub, with clear views to exam and procedure rooms. Doctor and Physician’s Assistant offices are also in plain sight for constant availability and assistance.

Within the exam rooms, open conversation is encouraged by the use of monitors on arms allowing Doctors, Physician’s Assistants, and nurses to easily share records and findings with the patients wherever they are in the room.  Whiteboards are installed to help explain issues at hand.

Daylighting was a key focus, ensuring most spaces, including the waiting area, nurse station, and exam rooms, benefit from natural light. No VOC paints, adhesives, and sealants were used to enhance indoor air quality.

The doctors aimed to create a calming, spa-like space for both patients and staff, with nature-inspired materials and artwork.
