SIZE
194,000 SF
The $68,000,000, four-story UC Health Gardner Neuroscience Institute brings together 125 faculty specialists and 15 care specializations under one roof, providing a single location for patients to receive services for treatment of epilepsy, brain tumors, mood disorders, stroke, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s disease. All outpatient neurological care and patient education activities are provided here, as well as advanced clinical trials. The 194,000 SF building incorporates welcoming spaces and natural light, which studies have shown promote patient healing. The facility offers convenient amenities, including underground parking, a café, patient lounge, auditorium, and outdoor rehabilitation spaces.
The project, led by HPLEX as Owner’s representative, had more than 100 exam/consult rooms, procedure rooms, and imaging (i.e., MRI, X-ray, future PET-CT). There was an infusion department and associated compounding pharmacy with hazardous and non-hazardous clean rooms that complied with USP 800.
The Institute has received 19 awards for exceptional design and functionality, including:
• Gold Touchstone Award for Evidence Based Design and Research, 2021
• Best of the Best Design Awards, Best of Healthcare 35,000 sf Platinum, 2020
COLLABORATION
The Owner and Architect wanted to create an iconic building as a gateway to the healthcare campus. They desired an all-glass exterior, but the glare would have negatively impacted the patient population and posed challenges to meet energy codes. HEAPY collaborated with the team to develop a shading solution using a special fabric to create an iconic look, reduce glare, and meet energy codes. The building now features a geometric, textured white mesh scrim exterior, which allows for an abundance of natural light, while also providing better energy efficiency.
SUSTAINABILITY
The hospital had available campus utilities, but they were not immediately adjacent to the site. HEAPY performed life cycle cost analysis to evaluate connecting into campus utilities versus stand-alone utilities, which helped the team determine the best solution.

INDIANA UNIVERSITY
DATA CENTER
HEAPY designed multiple system upgrades to the infrastructure within Indiana University’s Data Center, including multiple capacity expansions over the years for various enterprise and research (HPC, High Performance Computing) compute needs.
This work began with modifications to support the relocation of their research supercomputer, Big Red, from a separate existing building. The original Big Red was one of the most powerful university-owned computers in the U.S., and one of the 50 fastest supercomputers in the world. Part of a comprehensive strategy to build an advanced cyber infrastructure to support research at Indiana University, Big Red has a theoretical peak performance of more than 30 teraFLOPS, and has achieved more than 21 teraFLOPS on numerical computations.
In 2013, HEAPY completed a project to replace this supercomputer with the new, 25 times faster Cray Big Red II — the first announced system capable of 1 petaFLOP that was owned and operated for the benefit of a single university. If you performed one calculation per second with a hand calculator, it would take you 31.7 million years to do what Big Red 200 can do in a second!
In 2020, HEAPY completed a project that has seen the University’s research supercomputer taken to the next level with Big Red 3 and Big Red 200. Big Red 3 is dedicated to researchers, scholars, and artists with large-scale, compute-intensive applications that can take advantage of the system’s extreme processing capability and high-bandwidth network topology. It contains 22,464 compute cores and is capable of 934 teraFLOPS. Big Red 200 is a supercomputer designed to support scientific and medical research, and advanced research in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics. Big Red 200 will have a theoretical peak performance greater than 6 petaFLOPS.
