Detroit Medical Center
Dedicated to serving pediatric patients through comforting and child-friendly features, this outpatient specialty center provides specialized care and expertise to children in Oakland County. In addition, it brought roughly 100 new full-time jobs to the area. The facility provides outpatient pediatric services including cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, nephrology, neurology, and oncology. The exterior of the building uses bright, multicolored glazed brick to set itself apart as a vibrant, unique structure that is inviting to visitors. It includes curtain wall framing and glass, punch windows and metal panels. The emergency room and main canopies are trapezoidal in shape and skewed with respect to the main building. Integrated facility design was used to maximize the value of how each department is programmed. This approach considered efficiencies to minimize monuments, add flexibility, increase patient experience, and reduce travel times for patients, staff and families.
