Lexington, Ky.
Ground was broken in March of 2015 on the $47 million Shriners Hospital for Children Medical Center in Lexington. The five-story, 110,000-sf facility is sited on the campus of the University of Kentucky and UK HealthCare will lease the top two floors to provide clinical space for ophthalmology. Shriners’ pediatric orthopaedic services will be housed in 60,000 sf on the first three floors. The medical center will provide 20 patient exam rooms, a motion analysis lab, two surgical suites, and rehabilitation facilities. The sustainably designed project will feature geothermal heating and cooling, occupancy sensors, LED lighting, and a building automation system. Completion of the ambulatory care facility is expected in January of 2017.
