University of Michigan Health System's Newest Addition

C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital and Women’s Hospital was comprised of five structures constructed throughout 1950 to 1990, the majority of which were at least 30 years old. The vision of the replacement hospital project was to provide a new, state-of-the-art inpatient facility for children and women, and also to provide shelled space in order to be flexible for expansion in the future.

The new facility increases pediatric inpatient bed capacity, increases birthing capacity to allow 4,500 - 5,000 births annually, increases surgical capacity and improves parent and family accommodations creating an environment focused on family-centered care.

Barton Malow constructed the new 775,000 SF inpatient facility including 11 levels with a basement. Levels 5 and 6 are dedicated mechanical floors. The new outpatient clinic facility with medical office spaces adds 225,000 SF to the new hospital including 10 levels with a basement. The basement level houses the central plant for the complex and the rooftop provides cooling towers.

Additional construction included demolition of the existing women’s office building, connections between buildings, improvements to the site parking structure, site improvements: utility reconfiguration, roadway reconfigurations, landscaping, steam tunnel and ductbank extensions, as well as a stormwater retention system and a rooftop helipad.
