The University of Michigan Health
System’s Cardiovascular Center will be a leader in patient centered
care as one of the nations first fully comprehensive cardiovascular treatment
centers. Housed within the 350,000
gross square foot facility
consisting of 6 floors and 2 building support basement levels will be
3 ambulatory care clinic modules, non-invasive diagnostic and testing
suites, 5 cardiac catheterization labs, 5 electrophysiology labs, 8 operating
rooms specializing in cardiac, vascular and interventional radiology procedures,
20 intensive care beds and office space for clinical faculty and support
staff. To prepare for the future needs of the center, shelled spaces for
2 operating rooms, 2 cardiac catheterization and/or electrophysiology
labs, 4 intensive care beds and a 24 bed acute care unit are included
in the plan.
The building will be located just south of the Cancer & Geriatrics
Center and University Hospital, on the site of the “Old Main”
hospital. Its entrance will be located at the intersection of Observatory
and Ann Streets. Pedestrian connectors from the Cardiovascular Center
to adjacent medical center buildings are planned for to facilitate the
use of shared services and materiel handling. To provide parking for patients
and staff a 465 space parking
structure will be constructed as a part of this project.
