Michigan Medicine’s D. Dan and Betty Kahn Health Care Pavilion Tops Out

Michigan Medicine celebrated the topping out of the D. Dan and Betty Kahn Health Care Pavilion with the placement of the final structural beam on the 12-story hospital.

Located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the $920-million, 264-bed facility includes a neurosciences center, specialty services for cardiovascular and thoracic patients, and 20 surgical and three interventional radiology suites. The new hospital is located adjacent to the U-M Health Frankel Cardiovascular Center. Bridge and tunnel connections will link the two facilities.

Scheduled to open in the fall of 2025, the pavilion will enable Michigan Medicine to relocate clinical services and beds currently in semi-private rooms at University Hospital. Private inpatient rooms have also been designed to easily convert into intensive care space if needed. The project will add a total of 154 new beds to the medical campus. It also will provide flexibility for future changes and growth of the remaining patient programs at University Hospital. Levels 11 and 12 also have the capability to convert into four 24-bed respiratory infectious containment units.

The new hospital is designed with sustainability in mind, and the team is tracking for LEED Platinum certification. It is expected to exceed energy-efficiency standards by 20% compared to the state of Michigan’s building code for energy performance. The project team includes: HOK, IDS, AEI, Beckett & Raeder and Barton Malow.
