Project Overview
The 6-level, 193,000-square-foot Midwestern
University Multispecialty Medical Clinic includes a
294-chair Dental
Institute, a Family Medicine Practice, a Speech-Language Institute, a Physical Therapy Institute, an optometry
clinic, and a Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine Clinic.
Dental portion of the building contains procedure and operatory areas,
CAD/CAM rooms, sterilization and wet labs, offices and classrooms. The
structure includes an 8,600-square-foot, roof-top mechanical
penthouse.
A teaching facility, the project features
graduate healthcare students offering care under faculty supervision and is
part of a Midwestern University $289.9 million capital construction
plan.
Precast Solution
The building’s
exterior consists of brick and precast concrete architectural panels that bear
on concrete decks, pre-finished metal panels, and blue glass wrapping
windows.
The project utilized 211 non-insulated, precast
concrete wall panels totaling 44,000 square feet. Of these, 106 panels were
brick clad and 105 were acid etched. The bands of concrete in the brick-clad
panels were also acid etched. |
