The Health Science Innovation Campus wanted its first building to be a 100-year structure that would anchor the campus and serve as a magnet for new development. The three-story, 150,000-sq-ft facility houses Arizona State University’s Health Futures Center, the Mayo Clinic and the ASU Alliance for Health Care. The facility also supports interdepartmental research and collaborative programs with the Mayo Clinic and ASU’s College of Health Solutions, Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation, Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering and the J. Orin Edson Entrepreneurship and Innovation Institute. Completed in October 2020, the LEED Silver-targeted center includes simulation exam and operating rooms and a special in-the-round conference center.
Because the initial budget did not align with the owner’s expectations, the preconstruction team found solutions using predictive cost analysis.
