Oregon Health & Science University's (OHSU) Center for Health & Healing is a 412,000-square-foot (38,300 m2) medical building in the South Waterfront district of Portland, Oregon.[1] It is connected to the main OHSU campus on Marquam hill by the Portland Aerial Tram.[2]

History[edit]

The OHSU Center for Health & Healing was completed in 2006, designed by GBD Architects and constructed by Hoffman Construction.[3] It took 3 years to complete, with construction beginning in 2003, and cost a total of $140 million.[1][4] In February 2007, the building was granted LEED Platinum status, becoming the largest health care facility in the United States to earn LEED's highest rating.[2]

Of the facility’s 16 floors, eight floors are dedicated to physician practice, surgery, and imaging; three floors house the March Wellness Fitness Center; four are home to education and research facilities; and the ground level contains an optical shop, a pharmacy, and a café.[1][5] The building is 61.58 m (202.0 ft) tall.[6]
