The Veterans Affairs Clinic

The Veterans Affairs Clinic in Toms River, NJ, faced the unique challenge of furnishing its office and clinical spaces while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic. Balancing the functional requirements of these diverse environments required careful planning and a thorough understanding of each area’s distinct needs; BFI’s experience in the corporate and healthcare landscapes uniquely prepared them for this project.

When taking on this project, BFI also faced the challenge of working with two architectural firms, adding complexity to the communication and coordination of aligning the design vision and ensuring consistency across the different teams. Another challenge included adhering to budgetary constraints and compliance with specific procurement regulations.

Adhering to the restrictions of the buying contract, BFI sourced pieces through MillerKnoll. This ensured that the furniture solutions met the high standards of durability, functionality, and design quality while staying within the predefined budget, which required innovative thinking and a flexible approach to problem-solving.

Designing exclusively with MillerKnoll ensured a consistent feel throughout the facility and allowed for significant cost savings through bulk discounting. By standardizing the finishes and materials across the different areas, bfi created a unified and harmonious aesthetic.

Collaborative efforts with the client and the architectural firms were crucial in developing functional and compliant designs. This collaboration also allowed bfi to gain a deeper understanding of the project’s specific needs and constraints, enabling them to tailor their solutions effectively. By maintaining flexibility and adaptability in their approach, BFI navigated the complexities of the buying contract while still delivering high-quality furniture solutions.

Although ongoing, the Veterans Affairs Clinic in Toms River, NJ, has already shown promising results. The collaborative design process has successfully addressed the initial challenges, with functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces taking shape. Consistent finishes and bulk purchasing have proven effective in maintaining both budgetary and design consistency. This facility will benefit local veterans and has been an honor and a source of pride for the BFI team.
