St. Louis, Mo. — Sept. 10, 2015 — Indiana University Health has announced the selection of HOK as executive architect for its upcoming billion-dollar development projects. This significant initiative includes determining the future model of patient care, and ensuring that its delivery is sustainable for the next 100 years.
IU Health has enlisted HOK for the planning, design, and construction of three priority projects:
• The consolidation of IU Health Methodist and IU Health University hospitals’ adult services into one academic medical campus in downtown Indianapolis.
• A new regional academic health campus in Bloomington, Ind.
• The consolidation of women’s services at or near Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health in Indianapolis.
The new campuses will enhance IU Health’s ongoing collaboration with the IU School of Medicine in the areas of research, education, and patient care.
Several physician leaders, nurses, and administrators from IU Health and Indiana University made up the selection team, which voted unanimously to retain HOK.
“HOK earned the commission based on their experience, leadership, and alignment with our organization’s mission and vision,” said Jonathan Curtright, chief operating officer of IU Health Methodist and University hospitals and project lead. “We are confident that HOK will help us achieve our goal of creating an unmatched model of care for patients in Indiana and beyond, fostered by outstanding, state-of-the-art facilities.”
HOK is a global design, architecture, engineering, and planning firm celebrating 60 years of design and innovation in 2015.
