Hobbs+Black provided complete programming, planning and design for the retrofit of a new anesthesiology administrative and teaching department, the first totally robotic pharmacy in the DMC and the State of Michigan, a “city park and village” themed inpatient physical therapy and rehabilitation center, a state-of-the-art radiology film file center and Quality Control Center, a just-in-time materials management center, the complete retrofit-in-place without loss of normal operation of the central processing department, coordination of operational and physical requirements for a case cart system for surgery, and new dental clinic.

Hobbs+Black is currently engaged in a series of planning consultations with the emerging ambulatory Detroit Medical Center. These planning efforts are helping to investigate and facilitate potential solutions to the proposed consolidation of most ambulatory outpatient services in the UHC and Harper Pro locations. Major site access and circulation issues are being studied to facilitate this new initiative. Access within UHC and Harper Pro to the internal circulation systems are being studied as well to provide convenient user friendly access, as well as operational efficiencies.
