Social Distancing Strategies Respect Veterans' Needs
See how a clinic used color blocking, subliminal wayfinding, and enclosed furniture to maintain socially distanced spaces

The VA’s new Community-Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) in Charlotte Hall, Maryland, is a much-welcomed addition to the area as it expands care space, healthcare services, and telehealth modalities to Veterans living in rural areas. The 25,852-square-foot space, designed by Oculus Inc., reflects the level of professionalism and importance of the VA’s purpose serving our nation’s Veterans. Smart design elements such as color blocking, subliminal wayfinding, and enclosed furniture help define the space while maintaining a safe and socially distanced environment.
