When you get out on the peripheries of the CC complex, this might not be a bad idea.  The other option is what Baltimore does with Johns Hopkins, an extremely heavy police presence.

24 Notices

Cleveland Clinic, owner, proposes to erect the core and shell of a new two-story building with a

parking lot in a C1 Multi-Family Residential, a C2 General Retail Business District and a D3 SemiIndustry

District. The owner appeals for relief from the strict application of the following sections of

the Cleveland Codified Ordinances:

1. Section 337.08 which states that Office use is not permitted in a Multi-Family Residential

District but first permitted in Local Retail Business with no more than five workers and first

permitted in Gen Retail Business District without this restriction.

2. Section 323.03 which states that the minimum area required for accessory off-street parking

spaces is 180 square feet and the proposed spaces are 144 square feet.

3. Sections 352.08 through 352.12 which states that an 8 foot wide landscaped transition strip

is required where a General Retail Business District and a Semi-Industry District abut a MultiFamily

Residential District.

4. Section 352.10(a)(1) which states that 6 foot wide landscape frontage strips are required.

5. Section 352.10(E) which states that island strips shall have a minimum area of 100 square feet

each and shall be separated by no more than 20 parking spaces. (Filed March 16, 2017)

 

They're adding the "wings" ... finally! They look very nice in person. ;-)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Noticed that the temporary parking lot at the west end of Inova is gone.  Presumably the start of the dental clinic.

How about a view from the air as my kid was visiting in ENT doctor in the Crile Building? It's a view of the 300,000 sq ft Health Education Center being built jointly by the Cleveland Clinic and Case Western Reserve University. The Upper Chester development of apartments and retail is on the far right. That's the East Mt. Zion Baptist Church in the foreground.

Taussig Cancer Center by William Rawn Associates and Stantec Architecture

Work was recently done on the lots marked in red. Although the buildings had been demolished some time ago, the land here has all been leveled in the last two weeks. I originally thought it was all to be parking lot for the Clinic; however, I have been told they are prepping it for apartments over ground floor retail. No idea when any sort of actual construction is to start, but that is the plan for these lots as part of the "redevelopment" of the Fairfax neighborhood.

 

Edit: I guess this should actually be in the Fairfax New Economy District thread, but not sure how to move it. Apologies.

 

EDIT #2: It appears the information may have been premature. Although the eventual plan for this land may be apartments over ground floor commercial, it doesn't appear that's happening anytime soon. They have started to plant trees, making this into park land at least for some time. Apologies for jumping the gun.

Interesting. FYI just copy and paste the posting above into the Fairfax thread and then Remove your original posting.

 

Wait, is this supposed to be a Cleveland Clinic sponsored development? If so then just leave it here.

^Unclear to me as of now whether the Clinic owns the land and is sponsoring the development. I'll leave it here for now and move it if it becomes clear that it is not Clinic sponsored in time. I'll find out more from the individual that informed me.

Cleveland Clinic owns most of the land except for these house-sized parcels...

That takes us up to East 103rd Street. I'm going to bet this is a Cleveland Clinic sponsored project. If so I'm going to start taking back all the bad things I've said about their land use planning. Now if they could just get rid of/disguise that awful substation at East 105th and Chester. ;)

good progress on IBM building...  tried to put the pic up,  but it's such a pain now...  maybe try later...

Yesterday I edited my post regarding the three plots of land on Cedar near 100th to address what looked like park landscape being put in. Today I saw an excerpt from the Fairfax Neighborhood Journal that they are in fact putting in pocket parks. Although these are likely temporary pocket parks, the land won't be built on anytime soon. Second apologies for jumping the gun.

Cleveland Clinic plots $20 million children's center

By TIMOTHY MAGAW

 

A $3 million lead gift from the Jones Day Foundation will help Cleveland Clinic Children's open its first freestanding outpatient facility — a project estimated to cost more than $20 million.

 

The 120,000-square-foot children's center — expected to be completed by fall 2018 — will be housed in the former four-story Taussig Cancer Center on Euclid Avenue between East 89th and 90th streets. The renovated facility will unite the Clinic's children's primary and specialty outpatient care in one location. The Clinic's cancer program moved its operations earlier this year to a new, $276 million facility . Children requiring hospitalization or complex care will continue to receive treatment in the M building on the Clinic's main campus.

 

International architecture firm HKS will lead the expansion project, which according to a news release, will be designed to create a "calming and welcoming environment to nurture the whole family." The Clinic said features of the facility include an expanded entrance on Euclid Avenue, a child-friendly cafe and nutrition center, family-focused education center, retail pharmacy and a playroom. It will also boast 50 exam rooms, 20 private infusion rooms and four procedure rooms.

I happen to drove by Taussig and noticed the sign reflecting its transformation into the Children's Building.  I thought Taussig looked really tired and dated for such a new building.  I could not put my finger on it but it just looked old.  Hopefully the renovation will help re-fresh it.  I like the idea of the canopy.

The Clinic is awful for the city in terms of development. Everything they build are virtual dead zones after 5:00

Do you mean to trivialize a quite important development? This repository will probably grow into a national resource independent of the Clinic.

 

 

No, I merely shared a tweet by PD reporter mjarboe[/member]

TheClinic does whatever it wants to. It doesn’t seem like it would cost them much to exist within the fabric of the city, but clearly that is not their mindset. The City is just too weak to demand better.

If anyone wants to start a thread to discuss planning ineptitude or criminal chase scenarios, feel free to do so. Otherwise, please keep on topic.

It's not like her to miss the potential although I can understand the Clinic downplaying it.

Looks like construction on the $515 million Health Education Campus is rounding third and heading for home....

By Ginger Christ, The Plain Dealer, [email protected]

 

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Cleveland Clinic Children's will open its first freestanding outpatient center Sept. 24.

 

The new $28-million, 120,000-square-foot building at 8950 Euclid Ave. will be the site of most of Cleveland Clinic Children's outpatient treatments, according to a news release.

 

Before it opens to patients, a ribbon cutting for the new facility will be Friday followed by a community open house from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday.

^Did they actually build a new building or just renovate the old Taussig Cancer Center Building?  The way the article reads it seems like a new building.

Case Western Reserve, Cleveland Clinic launch new era of health education with Samson Pavilion dedication

Innovative architectural design and state-of-the-future technology to welcome students from dental, medical and nursing schools

APRIL 9, 2019

 

 

Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland Clinic launched a new era of health education today in dedicating the centerpiece of their new campus, the Sheila and Eric Samson Pavilion.

 

“The dedication of the Sheila and Eric Samson Pavilion demonstrates the extraordinary value that the spirit of philanthropy brings to new generations of students. The Health Education Campus will have a major impact on advancing medical education and patient care,” said Tom Mihaljevic, MD, Cleveland Clinic chief executive officer and president. “Its unique curricula and design will inspire health care professionals to be members of interdisciplinary teams and promote lifelong learning.”

 

This spring, the four-story, 477,000-square-foot building opens to 2,200 students from Case Western Reserve’s dental, nursing, and medical schools, including those from Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine. Students from the university’s social work school also will come to the Samson Pavilion for shared coursework, but will continue to take the majority of their classes in their own newly renovated building on Case Western Reserve’s main campus.

 

As designed by London architects Foster + Partners, perhaps the most striking part of the Samson Pavilion is the 80-foot-high, 27,000-square-foot central courtyard newly named the Delos M. Cosgrove Courtyard through a generous gift from the outgoing chair of Cleveland Clinic’s Board of Directors, Robert E. Rich Jr., and his wife, Mindy. Dr. Cosgrove is the past CEO and president of Cleveland Clinic and currently serves as an executive adviser.

Seeds & Sprouts III - Early intel on real estate projects

 

Fairfax: Cleveland Clinic shifts back into construction mode

For the first time in a long time, there are no construction cranes over University Circle or the Cleveland Clinic. Just don't get used to it.

In the coming months, look for movement on several Cleveland Clinic-related projects. There is already some visible movement starting on one of them -- the Brooks BioRepository proposed to be built at 10300 Cedar Avenue. The site is at the northwest corner of Cedar and East 105th Street.

The Cleveland Clinic has some strangely planned construction ambitions. The M building is the current Cleveland Clinic Pediatric inpatient hospital. That building contains most of the pediatric OR's and ICU's, so demolishing it before a suitable replacement is built would be out of the question. The 8th floor of the M building has been under construction for over a year, being remodeled into a new epilepsy unit. The ribbon cutting to officially open M80 will be Monday. The R building next door now contains the outpatient pediatric departments that moved out of the T and S buildings middle floors, still vacant since the fall of 2018 when the newly remodeled R building opened. The TT building is old and largely office space, along with the S and P buildings, so they could vacate the P, S, and TT and RR buildings fairly easily. The U building is also underutilized and takes up nearly an entire city block with the Cleveland Clinic Police Station. The Cleveland Clinic also purchased the The Cleveland Playhouse complex which is heavily damaged due to decades of poor maintenance and neglect (trust me). None of my contacts within the Cleveland Clinic maintenance departments have heard any plans for the next construction project, nor the next demolition project. Most of the Cleveland clinic is talking about the new Mentor Hospital that is supposed to break ground by the end of the year,  the closing of the TRW campus in Beachwood, the construction of Cleveland Clinic London, expansion of Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, and integrating of the recently acquired Akron General hospitals, Union Hospital, Martin Health System and Indian River Medical.

Although context clues help me know what a 'biorepository' is, I still looked it up. Interesting.

 

"A biorepository is a biological materials repository that collects, processes, stores, and distributes biospecimens to support future scientific investigation Biorepositories can contain or manage specimens from animals, including humans, and many other living organisms."

It's too bad about the Playhouse.  I thought that when Explorys moved in there, the building itself might experience a little rekindling.  I'm in there pretty regularly and it just gets used for training pretty much now - no effort is being put into the building, so I don't think they have a long term plan or use for it.  Only one bathroom is being kept in usable condition.

I personally only cringe when I drive past the new Dentistry building...thoughts??

 

Is CWRU-Clinic Health Education Campus just another big shiny box at a sprawling medical center? - Steven Litt

Today 5:00 AM

 

Designed by Lord Norman Foster of England, one of the world’s most famous contemporary architects, the building seems ideal for high-tech learning that emphasizes collaboration among future doctors, nurses, physician assistants and dentists.

 

But is it one big, shiny box too many at the Clinic?

 

The four-story, 477,000-square-foot Sheila and Eric Samson Pavilion is a joint project by the Clinic and CWRU located on jointly owned land at East 93rd Street between Chester and Euclid avenues. It co-houses CWRU’s School of Medicine, School of Dental Medicine, and Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing, which are moving over from the CWRU main campus, and the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine, another CWRU program.

 

Despite its dual parentage, the perception will be that the Samson Pavilion – for all its fine qualities – is adding to the chilly gigantism that pervades the Clinic’s 165-acre campus, which can make patients and families feel like tiny cogs in a vast machine.

This is one of the better ugly buildings. I don't see why they have gone with this theme for their  recent buildings instead of the glass design like the J building. 

Another winner from the "Cleveland Clinic Design Studio" Whatever that is?

Why the hell do they need to close yet another street for this projects?

Interesting that it's on the south side of Cedar. The project address previously was listed on the neighborhood Design Review at a different location. 

Edited July 17, 20195 yr by KJP

I hope it's expandable; the repository has great, even international potential. The lack of windows probably reflects the need for much of the building to have negative pressure.
