University Health Center Master Plan/Programming

Traditional clinical functions have expanded to include a range of specialty services, and both health promotion and counseling and psychological services are now increasingly central to an institution's mission. Since 1995 HOLT has assisted Cornell University transition into the current health services model. Numerous renovations of the 39,000 gsf 1955 Gannett Health Services Building addressed critical front door functions, clinical and laboratory upgrades, enlarged counseling services, and the retrofit and replacement of HVAC and electrical systems. Following these built projects, the 2007 HOLT Master Plan developed a comprehensive building space program for a 119,000 gsf replacement facility. Concept designs tested the full program fit on the existing central campus site and including substantial new parking requirements. Massing models, single and multi-phase construction sequencing, project costs, and schedules were outlined to assist the university with strategic planning.
