Lawrence Group’s Austin, TX office served as the architect on the new Austin Regional Clinic (ARC) Greenlawn Specialty clinic, opened on Jan. 19, 2026 in Round Rock, TX. The free-standing clinic houses ARC’s first Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC), offering access to specialty and surgical care in a single, centralized location.

ARC engaged long-standing design partner Lawrence Group to design the new specialty clinic and Ambulatory Surgery Center in the growing Round Rock community. The clinic, located in a newly constructed spec medical office building at 3207 Greenlawn Blvd, involved an interior finish-out for the entire facility with ARC as its exclusive occupant.

The 22,000-square-foot clinic features 17 exam rooms, three procedure rooms, an on-site lab and radiology focused on the following specialties: general surgery, podiatry, ear nose and throat (ENT), audiology, and orthopedics. It is also home to 15 physicians and advanced practice clinicians (APCs), and will house ARC’s first outpatient surgery center, ARC Surgery Center North, scheduled to open in the spring.

The building posed challenges on optimizing floor plan layouts for both clinical and surgical space types. This, coupled with being the first ASC that ARC has delivered in central Texas, resulted in the project team collaborating extensively on code, industry best practices, and functional needs to develop a successful project objective and program.

“Our team worked closely with the client, general contractor, engineering and equipment partners, and other collaborators to develop an efficient, standardized program that allowed the square footage to be maximized with room for growth in the second-floor clinic,” said Luma Jaffar, Managing Principal of Lawrence Group’s Austin office. “Implementing measures like standardizing operating rooms to just over 400 square feet required close collaboration with the project team to ensure the layout remained functional while optimizing the overall floor plan.”

ARC Greenlawn Specialty is the healthcare provider’s 36th clinic in Central Texas and its third in Round Rock, joining ARC Round Rock and ARC Sendero Springs. Some ARC Round Rock specialties, physicians, and APCs will be transitioning to ARC Greenlawn Specialty as part of the specialty hub expansion. Specialty services remaining at ARC Round Rock will include allergy and asthma; cardiology; dermatology; family medicine; internal medicine; pediatrics; rheumatology; and sports medicine.

“ARC is proud to continue serving the Round Rock community with the addition of ARC Greenlawn Specialty,” said ARC President and CEO Anas Daghestani, MD. “This clinic brings new and expanded services, including surgical care, to one centralized location in a rapidly growing community and supports our mission to provide coordinated, comprehensive, accessible health care to individuals and families in Central Texas.”

Texas-based Rogers O’Brien Construction served as the general contractor on the project.
