The McLaren Medical Services Building and Karmanos Cancer Center Institute (MOB/CC) project was part of a larger strategic initiative by McLaren Healthcare Corporation to replace two separately operating healthcare campuses with a single, acute care hospital and medical campus at Michigan State University (MSU).
Encompassing $68 million of the total $601 million initiative, this project included construction of a 170,000 Square Foot (SF), three-story facility, connected to the new hospital. The Medical Services Building features a technologically advanced conference and education center, a training simulation center, support services and administration elements. The Karmanos Cancer Center – a collaborative partnership between Karmanos, MSU Health Care and McLaren – includes state-of-the-art facilities for cancer care and research, including oncology, chemotherapy and infusion, radiation therapy, surgical specialists, multidisciplinary clinics and alternative therapy and support spaces. It is also home to a Breast Imaging Center, offering services such as screenings, biopsies and surgical and reconstructive services.
Granger also constructed the $10 million parking deck, adjacent to the MSB and Cancer Center Building, as well as a Storage Building. In addition, Granger renovated the adjacent Health and Wellness Pavilion that houses various outpatient services and clinics including family medicine, physical therapy, sleep center, pain management and more.
Awards
The state-of-the-art MOB/CC facility has received significant recognition since its completion, including being selected as a CAM Magazine Top 12 Project of the Year and receiving an Engineering Society of Detroit Construction and Design Award.
