Our New Hospital

Opening 2012

The new University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children's Hospital and Women's Hospital is reaching new heights - literally. The steel beams for the 12-story inpatient tower - as well as the two 300-foot free-standing cranes erecting the steel on the building site - can be seen from across Ann Arbor. And soon construction will begin on the 9-story clinic tower, while November will mark the start of enclosing the inpatient tower.

Fast facts

  • Scheduled to open in 2012, the new facility will total 1.1 million gross square feet.
  • It is the second largest construction project in Michigan, just behind the MGM Grand Casino in Detroit.
  • The facility will include a 9-story tower for clinic space, and a 12-story tower devoted to inpatient care that will bridge inpatient and outpatient services within the same medical disciplines to create a programmatic approach to patient care on each floor.
  • Patients and their families - as well as teams of more than 450 current Mott and Women's faculty and staff - provided input for the new facility's layout and design.
  • Plans are underway to pursue Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. The facility also will be wireless and paperlight upon opening.
  • To date, the U-M Health System has raised more than $50 million of its $75 million goal for the new facility.
