AVON HOSPITAL NEW TOWER CLEVELAND CLINIC

This $143 MILLION PROJECT delivered a new 7-story, 250,000 SF inpatient bed tower to expand the Cleveland Clinic Richard E. Jacobs Health Center, a family heath and ambulatory surgical center located at Avon Hospital. The building includes patient support services, general support services, diagnostic, and interventional programs.

The scope added 126 inpatient beds, 14 medical/surgical patient rooms, 12 intensive care beds, two new operating rooms, a pharmacy, a processing lab, dietary services, and an expansion of the emergency and imaging departments. The project included 3,000 SF of laboratory space for urinalysis, coagulation, hematology, and chemistry analysis, as well as a blood bank.

This project was delivered using DESIGN-ASSIST, as well as the Cleveland Clinic “Owner Controlled Team Project Delivery,” which is their approach to IPD.

Innovation

Cleveland Clinic has a well-defined set of building standards. While our team needed to comply with these standards, the Clinic acknowledged building costs were often too high and energy performance could be improved.

HEAPY worked with the Clinic in challenging and changing parts of the standards, resulting in an addition that met the budget and reduced energy costs. Avon Hospital is now the HIGHEST PERFORMING AND MOST ENERGY EFFICIENT hospital per square foot in Cleveland Clinic’s entire real estate portfolio.

Sustainability

The project was located on an environmentally sensitive site containing wetlands, so HEAPY integrated permeable pavers into the design to reduce stormwater runoff. The parking expansion now represents one of the most extensive use of permeable pavers in the United States.

Prefabrication

HEAPY helped drive prefabrication planning early in the design. The regional contractors had limited experience with prefabrication, so HEAPY helped educate the construction team and code officials on opportunities and benefits to maximize cost savings. By prefabricating the corridor racks, we were able to REDUCE FIELD INSTALLATION TIME by nine weeks per floor.
