GIFT GIVING GUIDE Cleveland Clinic to invest $1.3 billion in capital investments

In his State of the Clinic address earlier this year, CEO and President Dr. Tom Mihaljevic announced that Cleveland Clinic would be investing $1.3 billion into capital projects, including the construction of new buildings and the renovation of facilities in Ohio, Florida and London.

“Our services have never been in greater demand,” Mihaljevic said in a news release. “ ese projects re ect the needs of our organization and will ensure cutting-edge care for the next generation of patients. By building, partnering and innovating with technology, we are preparing current and future caregivers to deliver the best care.”

On main campus, Cleveland Clinic will build a 1-millionsquare-foot Neurological Institute building, expand the Cole Eye Institute building and signi cantly expand research facilities through its commitment to the Cleveland Innovation District. ese projects will be supported in large part by philanthropy, and will add more than 2,000 indirect and 7,500 direct jobs that support families, neighborhoods and community life. e Neurological Institute building will include inpatient and outpatient care, along with imaging and surgical services and research laboratories to investigate the function of the human brain and innovation labs to develop the neurological treatments of tomorrow. Currently, neurological services are located at several locations on main campus. is new facility will bring those caregivers and services together under one roof. is will enable collaboration between medical professionals and scientists to better serve patients, foster discovery and cures, and attract the next generation of caregivers. A $10 million donation from the Charles L. Shor Foundation has supported design and planning of the building. In recognition of this gift, Cleveland Clinic is naming the epilepsy center e Charles Shor Epilepsy Center. Work on the project will begin this year with the rst patient expected to be seen in 2026. e new neurological building will be located on main campus between East 86th and East 90th streets. is includes the demolition of the “P” building (the surgery center at the corner of E. 90th Street and Carnegie Avenue) and the attached “PP” parking garage, as well as the “PL” building (formerly the home of e Cleveland Play House). All operations in the P and PL buildings are being transitioned to other locations on main campus.

Once the old Cleveland Play House building is removed, this area will initially be used to support the building of the new neurological building where all equipment and vehicles will be contained on Cleveland Clinic property during construction. is will ensure that local residents have uninterrupted access to parking in their neighborhood during this time. Potential long-term plans for this portion of land include a new mixed-use neighborhood development project.

Across campus – on Euclid Avenue, between E 100th and E. 105th – expansion of the Cole Eye Institute building will add 150,000 square feet of new space, in addition to renovations on the existing space. e project will add additional operating rooms and procedure rooms.

Je rey A. Cole and his wife, Patricia O’Brien Cole, made a $31 million commitment for the expansion of Cole Eye’s clinical and surgical capabilities, as well as to enhance research and education. e expansion will be named the Je rey and Patricia Cole Building. Additionally, a $10 million grant from the Timken Foundation of Canton helped support the Cole Eye expansion planning phase and established e Louise Timken Ophthalmic Education Center. A groundbreaking ceremony will be held on May 20, 2022. Completion of the Cole Eye expansion is expected at the end of 2025.

Other capital projects of note include: • Mentor Hospital, scheduled to open in 2023 • Fairview Hospital renovations to address patient and caregiver needs • Weston Hospital in Florida, expansion of top oor of bed tower • London Hospital in the United Kingdom, which opened in March 2022 ose projects follow the recent State of Ohio and JobsOhio $200 million investment and Cleveland Clinic’s $300 million investment in the Cleveland Innovation District. is is the largest research e ort in Cleveland Clinic’s history and will also require philanthropic investment, according to the release. Plans include adding 400,000 square feet of research space to accelerate discovery and position Northeast Ohio at the forefront of pathogen research and preparing for the next pandemic. Additionally, Cleveland Clinic is collaborating with community partners to bring a $52.8 million Meijer grocery market and apartment complex to the area to address food insecurity and revitalize the neighborhood.

“Cleveland Clinic is committed to helping its communities thrive – through better health and economic opportunity,” said Bill Peacock, Cleveland Clinic Chief of Operations, in the release. “Cleveland Clinic’s hiring, purchasing and capital projects make a meaningful, measurable and lasting impact on the wellbeing of our neighbors and our local economy.”
