ANN ARBOR – University of Michigan Health will commission Hobbs + Black Architects for the design of a 220,000 square foot clinical facility in Troy, after approval by the University of Michigan Board of Regents today.
U-M Health plans to build a multi-specialty facility at 3100 West Big Beaver in Troy, on a seven acre property, which is a portion of the former Kmart headquarters.
The new facility will provide advanced specialty, diagnostic and therapeutic services and will include an outpatient surgery and procedures center. The project will include a multi-story parking deck of approximately 900 spaces.
“We are eager to begin work with Hobbs + Black Architects, who have extensive knowledge and expertise with health care facility design,” said Marschall S. Runge, M.D., Ph.D., CEO of Michigan Medicine, dean of the U-M Medical School and executive vice president of medical affairs for the University of Michigan.
“This project is key to our strategy of providing easier access for metro Detroit residents to our nationally renowned clinical expertise and innovation.”
Design is scheduled to begin immediately with the Ann Arbor-based Hobbs + Black firm. The estimated budget for the design phase is $11.24 million. Funding will be provided for from University of Michigan Health resources.
U-M Health is the clinical division of Michigan Medicine, the academic medical center of the University of Michigan.
In alignment with Michigan Medicine’s commitment to sustainability, this building will follow University guidelines regarding Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) to minimize negative environmental impacts.
Construction is scheduled to be completed in winter 2026, with a plan to open for patient care in summer 2027.
“This action gets us one step closer to bringing our advanced and innovative clinical programs to our patients. Our goal is to keep care close to home, so patients don’t have to travel when there isn’t a need to do so,” said David Miller, M.D., president of U-M Health.
“Last year there were more than 180,000 patients that came to receive care at Michigan Medicine from Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties. To best serve Michigan, we need to extend our capabilities, knowing that not everybody can travel to Ann Arbor. This is a continued demonstration of our commitment to providing patients and communities with the right care in the right place at the right time.”
The new facility in Troy is among multiple U-M Health projects expected to increase patient access, which include the 12-story D. Dan and Betty Kahn Health Care Pavilion, set to open in 2025 in Ann Arbor, and the Ypsilanti Health Center in downtown Ypsilanti, set to open in late 2024.
