MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING PROJECTS
Medical office buildings are changing as rapidly as medical practice. The following selected projects illustrate the spectrum from traditional on-campus facilities designed for occupancy by large numbers of independent physician practices to emerging models of high volume group practice.
Ingham Medical Plaza 1991A 104,000 SF on campus facility at Ingham Medical Center, Lansing Michigan, with a rooftop helipad and a six-level parking structure for 695 cars, linked to the hospital and MOB by overhead bridges. Designed to house an 85 person cardiac care group and multiple small physician practices . Three-story skylit atrium entry. The brown brick exterior is intended to echo the nearby campus of Michigan State University, in keeping with the hospital's wish to strengthen its links to the medical school. Bids received on budget, construction interrupted by hospital merger.
Building cost, $62/SF, interiors, $45/SF.
White Memorial Medical Plaza 1992Relying on our ability to work with other consultants in a flexible and constructive manner, the client engaged an architect with no prior medical experience to design the 102,000 SF building core and shell, then authorized Miller TECHNIKA (then affiliated with Medical Planning & Development, Inc.) to provide design coordination, budgeting, and code consulting during design, plus on-site expediting and project management during construction. Miller TECHNIKA also designed all interior improvements, including individual physician suites for a variety of specialties, and group practice facilities for pediatrics, OB/GYN, and family practice, plus a diagnostic imaging center with MRI, CT, and radiology suites. Both the core and shell and interiors were completed on budget.
