CLIENT GOALS

Meadville Medical Center was facing the same challenges most healthcare systems are experiencing; need for additional space to serve their patients and the higher cost of construction and operation in a traditional hospital setting. A key component of the need was high quality space for a growing private orthopedic practice and a variety of outpatient services.

SOLUTIONS

Meadville Medical Center built the first building of a multiple building medical campus planned by WMF. The first programs elements to be housed in this new campus included Physical and Occupational Therapy and a large orthopedic practice. Another major component of the facility was a branch YMCA. Integrating the two programs also included expanded weights and fitness space allowing for shared use of facilities between the two agencies as well as interior access to other YMCA amenities.

RESULTS

“We were not disappointed with Weber Murphy Fox. In addition to careful planning and creative design, they provided us with experienced guidance as we managed this project. WMF was able to augment the resources of our Construction Manager and proved to be invaluable throughout the project. They assisted us in managing not only the construction costs but also all of the ff&e, development, and miscellaneous project costs and helped us end the project under budget. We were particularly grateful for the tenacity and attention that WMF paid to the project as we closed out the project, demonstrating a willingness to take a direct role in the completion of punch lists and warranty items long after our CM had left the site. The aesthetics of the project have earned the Meadville Medical Center a never-ending stream of compliments and have helped MMC maintain the image of a world-class medical facility. I would certainly recommend this firm to anyone looking for creative design and for an architectural firm which provides excellent service and truly understands construction and project delivery.”
