Henry Ford Medical Center - Plymouth
Plymouth, MI
Henry Ford Plymouth is continuing its development of a series of ambulatory care centers in Southeast Michigan, bringing healthcare services closer to the communities the health system serves The outpatient expansion further supports the ongoing shift in medicine from acute episodes to chronic care
The Henry Ford Medical Center - Plymouth is located on a site previously home to a Kmart store The site is a dynamic location given its trafficked corner and proximity to the freeway, affording great access to all nearby communities The site was previously planned for a three-story and up to 150,000-square-foot building as part of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Under that plan, certain restrictions are required, including locating the building within the original Kmart pad area The project includes a number of specialties, including an emergency center and surgery department, which require appropriate entrances, each with a roof/canopy covering.
The building exterior is brick and stone and includes branding for the Center that has been formatted on the initial medical center facilities, which are part of this program. While the building footprint is rectangular, the long facade is broken up by the center entrance, along with a change in roof heights at the sloped roof
Phoenix Children’s Hospital West Pavilion Expansion
Phoenix, AZ
The new Phoenix Children’s Hospital West Pavilion addresses a number of service lines in need of expansion, especially the Emergency Department (ED). The new ED is designed around a 100,000 patient/year volume, four times the capacity of the previous facility, and is designed around a patient first care model. The acute care area is designed in four quadrants with the exam rooms in each, surrounding a clinical core, providing a continuous direct connection between patients and clinicians. Traffic and transport are held at the outside of the quadrants eliminating the traditional ED chaos of all traffic and services from a single corridor.
Architecture for the West Pavilion reflects the existing hospital campus character. The exterior provides a combination of interest with layers of the building skin unfolding and introducing an element of whimsy An outdoor garden is afforded near the ED entrance offering an area of respite countering the known anxiety of an emergency department.

McLaren Health Care has long been involved in the West Branch community providing care through the physician’s network and has grown to a level where development of a medical center is appropriate

Design of the building focuses on departments surrounding a major atrium space running through the building with a raised central clerestory. Centralized waiting, registration, and amenity spaces are located off the tall, day-lit space.

Public health labs are changing World public health events – natural and man made –infectious diseases to biological terrorism are becoming more common in our media. The changing environment of public health requires a different approach to the design of public health labs. The labs designed in the past are already challenged with obsolescence Even by the time your building is constructed, it will already be outdated in many ways. The world is changing faster than we can design and construct buildings
