The new Orthopaedics Institute for the University of Missouri Health Care (UMHC) is planned for the corner of Monk and Stadium Drive in Columbia. Construction of the Institute should be completed by December 2009.
The Orthopaedics Institute will provide new clinical, surgical, and patient care spaces to alleviate the shortage of existing facilities in the University Hospital. The Institute has been designed as an easily accessible patient destination while providing efficient clinical and surgical service areas.
The design will include the necessary features and documentation for certification of the project under the U.S. Green Building Council´s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program. As part of the UMHC commitment to care, hospital leadership and School of Medicine faculty made it a goal to incorporate sustainable features into the project.
The design is being prepared by Cannon Design, St. Louis, Missouri. The Project Team is under the direction of Clarissa Easton, UMHC Chief Facilities Officer and includes Larry Eisenberg, University Architect with UM Facilities Planning & Development.
