Where Surgical Precision Meets Calming Design
Liberty Construction completed this 3,865 SF oral surgery office buildout for Dr. Vincent Nguyen-Cao and Dr. Jeffrey Rothman at 4825 Mark Center Drive, Suite 420 in Alexandria, Virginia. The two board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons relocated their practice, Alexandria Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, into a full commercial tenant improvement in an occupied Mark Center office building, with A & I Design as architect of record and Zehra Arif at Z-Dimensional shaping the interiors. The brief: build a true surgical facility (five operatories, IV sedation, and full medical gas) that reads as warm and residential the moment a patient steps off the elevator.
A Floor Plan Built Around the Patient Journey
The plan moves patients from a 531 SF waiting lounge through check-in, five surgical treatment rooms, and two dedicated recovery rooms before a separate check-out, supported by a nurses station, a crash cart alcove, clean and dirty sterilization, a lab, digital imaging, two doctor's offices, a consult room, a 291 SF staff breakroom with lockers, and patient and staff restrooms. Our crews framed the new partitions with metal studs at 16" O.C. and finished the public zones with Patcraft Treeline 5mm luxury vinyl plank in Cream-V2, 7" x 48" planks set in a brick pattern, transitioning to Shaw Contract Function + Flow 18" x 18" LVT in Blend through the clinical core, all trimmed with Tarkett-Johnsonite Baseworks 4.5" rubber wall base in Icicle. Ceilings run 8'-9" with 2' x 2' acoustical tile over the clinical zones and painted drywall bulkheads at the feature areas, including a cove-lit bulkhead with hidden architectural LED strip lighting. The palette pairs Sherwin-Williams High Reflective White (SW 7757) with Dignity Blue (SW 6804) and Sand Dollar (SW 6099) accents, with door frames picked out in Caviar (SW 6990).
Behind the Walls: Med Gas, Slab Work, and Surgical Systems
The hard part of this Northern Virginia healthcare construction project never shows in photos. Because every operatory needed under-slab plumbing and electric, our team concrete-scanned the suite, brought in structural engineers for review, then core-drilled and saw-cut the elevated slab of the occupied office building in coordination with JLL building engineering. We piped a complete medical gas system: brazed copper nitrous oxide, oxygen, scavenging vacuum, and oral vacuum lines running from a dedicated med gas closet with manifold and zone valves to junction boxes at all five treatment rooms, supporting the dental compressor and vacuum plant and the Benco Dental surgical equipment. New sprinkler coverage, fire alarm devices, and HVAC air terminals rounded out the MEP scope, all permitted through the City of Alexandria.
Bringing Alexandria Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery to Life
The public spaces carry the design story. Burger's Cabinet Shop built the custom millwork, with the reception desk faced in Wilsonart Blond Echo laminate over a Formica Brushed Black Aluminum toe-kick and topped with Formica solid surface in Luna Sand, with clinical casework in Wilsonart Snow White Velvet and Pewter Velvet traceless laminate with satin nickel square pulls. Jacaranda Recon Strata Oak quarter-cut veneer, a Drop It Modern Rock Steady wallpaper mural, and a 23'-3" x 9' BelArteStudio Brushed Tiles Blue mural layer the walls, while TileBar Division Blue fluted 3D ceramic tile and a 9'-0" Andor Willow white oak slat divider define the lounge. A frameless Herculite glass entry door, Schlage Latitude levers in satin nickel, Modern Forms Amari sconces, and LED pendants finish the space. Liberty Construction is proud to have delivered this Alexandria, Virginia oral surgeon office for Dr. Nguyen-Cao and Dr. Rothman, a medical office buildout where the surgical infrastructure works as hard as the design.
