HGA, Denton House Complete Metrodora Institute
HGA has completed the Metrodora Institute, a medical and research center, located in Salt Lake City, Utah. HGA led the planning, engineering and design/build and was a consultant for the interior design and mechanical and electrical engineering for the institute, which opened in April. Metrodora Institute is the first integrated multidisciplinary clinic in the United States, dedicated to advancing care and accelerating the path to improved diagnostics, therapeutics and cures for those with neuroimmune axis disorders.
Neuroimmune axis disorders are complicated chronic illnesses that cause dysfunctional interactions across body systems including immune, nervous, endocrine and gastrointestinal systems. Metrodora’s goal is for medical specialists to collaborate and apply scientific research and discovery directly to the patient care process in one facility.
Metrodora plans to see approximately 20,000 patients annually and will offer each patient the opportunity to submit a collection of biological samples for research purposes. A new model in healthcare, the institute will become the first biobank and high-density data repository with a focus on neuroimmune disorders.
HGA designed the ambulatory surgery center located on two floors of the clinic. The firm also designed Metrodora’s workspaces, innovative research and pathology laboratories, which will allow clinicians and scientists to work collaboratively and simultaneously on patient cases.
Denton House, was responsible for the interior design and served as the architect-of-record. The company designed a welcoming, amenity-rich setting, that transformed the healthcare experience into a comfortable, wellness hospitality space.
Additional partners included construction manager, Wasatch Commercial and general contractor, Layton Construction.
