Architect of record SLAM and architecture firm Perkins&Will have revealed plans for the new University of Rochester Orthopaedics & Physical Performance Center in Henrietta, New York, the US.
It is expected to become Northeast’s one of the largest outpatient orthopaedics facilities upon completion.
Overall, the full $227m 350,000ft2 community healthcare hub will include 210,000ft2 renovated space as well as a 140,000ft2 of new outpatient clinical services building which will accommodate 140 exam rooms for orthopaedic care.
SLAM principal-in-charge Scott Hansche said: “As healthcare facilities across the US look to decentralise their services, the adaptive reuse of underutilised retail space represents a huge opportunity for institutions, like the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC), to expand their outpatient reach by moving to the mall.”
The property has been designed to be patient-oriented and will include internal courtyard which will also work as a rehabilitation space.
The multiphase project’s renovated part is 200,000ft2 of a surgical platform that will include advanced imaging, three operating rooms, physical therapy, education, clinical research, and administration.
