The 25-acre site located near the Huron River is densely packed with buildings, parking, and constricted roadways. In 1991, a $171-million master plan commenced, outlining the expansion and renovation of the existing facility, as well as the addition of a new central energy plant, a medical research building, two parking structures, and a clinical addition.
Serving as the campus' showpiece, the new 340,000-sf clinical addition provides inpatient and outpatient services including ambulatory care, pharmacy, radiology, surgery, ICUs, nuclear medicine, cardiac, and respiratory care. Situated as the main campus entrance, the clinic will facilitate 133,000 outpatient visits per year, while increasing total employment to 1,800.
A new, 10,000-sf cardiac services suite, one of only a handful in the country, houses both invasive and non-invasive therapies. The invasive area includes a cardiac cath lab, an EP lab, patient prep and holding areas, and a control and observation area. The non-invasive area houses stress test analysis, ECG exam, pace maker/holter monitor exam and ECHO exam areas, physician office space, and a cardiac research lab. The suite is located adjacent to nuclear medicine, providing access to a shared cardiac imaging machine used to perform thallium stress testing.
The eight-story building contains fully accessible interstitial space between each floor, simplifying future systems modifications while minimizing patient interference. The building is clad in red brick with limestone trim, complementing existing campus structures. This palette blends with crisply detailed curtainwalls of green glass and white porcelain metal panels forming a contemporary complement, distinctive in its own right.

| Power Req: | Two 13,200-volt primary circuits originating from the Campus Energy Center. The voltage is transformed down to 480/277 volts via five substations. Two substations serve mechanical loads, two substations serve lighting/receptacle loads, and one serves medical equipment loads. The building is divided into three riser systems with each system consisting of lighting life safety, lighting critical, lighting normal, receptacle critical, and receptacle normal. The building lighting is primilarly 277 volt fluorescent and the receptacle power is stepped down to 208/120 volts with individual general purpose dry type transformers (K Rated) one per floor per riser. The emergency power is supplied by five 600 KW, 480/277 volt diesel generators with provisions for a future generator. The generators are to serve both the clinic addition and the future hospital renovation. | |||||
