BTW, Cleveland Clinic also has substantial square footage/administrative office employees in the former MBNA campus on Science Park Drive in Beachwood. Combine the the Independence and Beachwood locations into an office building downtown or in University Circle and it would be a large building of 500,000+ square feet. 

IIRC CC owns those buildings  That made it easy for them to expand / take over the spaces after the collapse of MBNA.

Correct - they own the entire former MBNA campus totalling over 700,000 sf of space.

And they have nearly 300,000 square feet of space in Independence. How about a nice 1 million-square-foot office tower downtown? ?

I would rather see these employees in offices in Midtown.  They are administrative office position, these are workers that could get to and from work easily and live in the area.  if they don't, it could be an anchor for redevelopment of the residential areas and be a lynch-pin for various forms of new housing.

If they were to consolidate anywhere along the Heathline Euclid Corridor works.  It certainly would help boost ridership.

Midtown?!?  Cleveland Clinic has the cash and power to build the fanciest 107-story (for 1 Million sq feet) building in Downtown, with a giant hotel next to it with lots of conference room space. Not many CLE organizations alone could do this. Even SW probably couldn't fill 107 floors, nor have the cash on hand to do so. If the Clinic really cared about CLE and wanted to make an impact they'd consolidate and build such a thing. But the issue is, they LOVE their money and don't seem to give a  crap about the city---so operating in the farthest suburbs where it is much cheaper seems to fit their M.O. Maybe with this new president things will change; hopefully he'll be a better civic partner than Toby was.

Is there any reason to believe this consolidation is in the works?  Or is it all speculating from the UO community?

I've heard nothing about it. I only recently heard about where CCF's administrative/business offices were located, how large they were and that they weren't consolidated. Considering that many companies seeking to attract young talent are moving in to downtowns/urban cores, I would hope that CCF would seriously consider this someday. A consolidated globally prominent HQ that is part of a mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly development (you know, one that promotes exercise, healthy lifestyles, reduced obesity, reduced diabetes, etc etc) would substantially raise their visibility and credibility as a responsible civic leader of healthy choices. By making this investment It would further elevate the community whose name it chose to wear and continues to wear around the globe.

Why would they but BACK OFFICE and administrative people in an expensive tower downtown, just to do that?   Most administrative or back office workers are not located in the heart of downtown in a major tower.  As an example, I worked at SOHIO , NONE of the administrative, credit card, Pet Food (Purina), Marine or Chemical team members were in the Tower.  In my new office, not everyone will be located at Hudson Yards. CC could build in midtown with a smaller tower/buildings and be a catalyst for more development.

Hudson Yards is a little more expensive than downtown Cleveland, or Midtown/Fairfax.

Yet the FACT still remains.  Back office, processing and or administrative jobs are rarely located in big towers.  I will yield that you cannot compare Cle to NYC, I was comparing where companys located various levels of employees.

You dream killer, you.

With the new Taussig Cancee and Joint College of Medicine coming online over the past few years, a lot of interior reshuffling has been happening. Departments have moved and expanded, necessitating a fairly consistent set of construction workers on campus. 

 

Two places come to mind:

The old playhouse is still an underused asset. It's 11+ acres and just about an entire block (except for the 'build to suite' corner, what an idiot) and is mostly surface parking. On campus there was a "what the hell do we do with this?" mentality when they took it over. That site could easliy hold something more or less the scale of the american greetings HQ. 

 

The other spot is literally printed on the clinic's map. In past versions orange was labeled as a construction zone. On the current version of the map (2017) there is one unlabeled orange spot left. This is diagonal across the intersectuon from new Taussig, next to Tudor Arms and the 105 garage. The skywalk comes across 105th and makes a 90 degree turn at a building that doesnt exist. Obviously they have plans for this spot, it just isn't fully fleshed out yet. The footprint seems just about the right size for a taller office building that would not look out of place next to Tudor Arms or the Walker Center. 

I'm expecting another lawn on that corner so I can't be disappointed. Hopefully they surprise me with a parking garage.

Lyndhurst campus for sale — caregivers moving to Beachwood administrative campus

Author: Caregiver Communications/Wednesday, June 26, 2019/

 

Cleveland Clinic values using our enterprise assets appropriately and we regularly review ways to operate more efficiently and effectively. As part of this, we have made the decision to list the Lyndhurst campus for sale. Non-clinical caregivers who are currently located on the Lyndhurst campus will be relocated to the Beachwood administrative campus (CCAC) just 3.4 miles away. Caregivers located in Lyndhurst and working in clinical areas, will be moved to clinical locations that are still being determined. As part of the regular review of organizational resources this was identified as an opportunity to consolidate offices and services in our continued efforts to be good stewards of resources.

Initially, there will be a consolidation of offices at CCAC in preparation to relocate approximately 400 caregivers from Lyndhurst. There is currently a planning team in place working through the details and more information will be available later this summer.

It makes sense to merge administrative campuses, but a shame they're not going to main campus, or somewhere else in the city. Would have been a great opportunity for KJP's downtown office idea (talent attraction, hello?). Really bad news for Lyndhurst though, as that office is currently their largest employer. At least they have the chance now for a private company to come back in to that site and get some property taxes coming in again for the schools.

The VGTI went out of business. Port St. Lucie owns the building and has been negotiating with the Clinic to take space in the building  and to open a research center there. Vaxine is an Australian company that would occupy space with help from a state grant. As part of this, Vaxine would work with the Clinic and other occupants on research. 

Cleveland Clinic London Celebrates Important Milestone with ‘Topping Out’ Ceremony

Latest building milestone achieved in the development of Cleveland Clinic’s 185-bed UK hospital

OCTOBER 2, 2019

 

LONDON: Cleveland Clinic London reached a major milestone in the construction of its hospital at 33 Grosvenor Place, when the final external piece of the eight-story, 324,000-square-foot building was put into place today.

 

The achievement was marked by a “topping out” ceremony attended by Brian Donley, M.D., CEO of Cleveland Clinic London, Tom Mihaljevic, M.D., Cleveland Clinic CEO and President, and Chris Connell, Chief Design Officer of the Center for Design at Cleveland Clinic. Additional guests included senior leaders from the hospital’s contractor, Sir Robert McAlpine.

 

“We are excited to have completed the construction phase of what will be one of the most technologically advanced hospitals in the U.K. Cleveland Clinic is a global leader in specialised medical care, and our London hospital will enable patients from across the U.K. and beyond to access exceptional treatment that’s based on nearly100 years of research and innovation,” Dr. Donley said.

 

Dr. Mihaljevic added, “The London hospital is the latest addition to Cleveland Clinic’s global healthcare system. London is one of the leading international healthcare centres, home to top-quality talent and world-leading research that we can learn from as we look to innovate and provide the very best care.”

It wouldn't be the entire headquarters, but would basically create a dual hub, and be a multi-billion $$$ investment.   So in essence it is being thought of as duplicating Cleveland's role.

Its not certain that it would be in FL., but it would go to a growing market, but I also heard it mentioned that it may be a market they are not currently in. 

There are multiple reasons that this would happen, but the bottom line is they are hungry for growth and they are constrained in Ohio.  They also expect it will help with recruiting  researchers that are not always willing to come to Ohio.

Let's see how hard it'll be to bring researchers to Cleveland after they open a second HQ in Florida (or wherever). It'll just make the existing problem worse for our region.

You are exactly right.  They are actually calling it "Dual Hub", but depending on where it would go and how these things affect the local picture, I can certainly see it as very damaging. 

This would not be good for Cleveland, but the Clinic does not care about Cleveland.

Like you said, what you describe is not a HQ re-location but a large expansion of the existing system which is common, makes sense and could only help its primary facilities in NE Ohio with additional sources of revenue.

There's really nothing to disagree with here as Cleveland wouldn't even necessarily be considered the primary facilities anymore (maybe maybe not), but we also don't know enough at this point.

If you're suggesting that CC is in some way planning or even thinking of moving the corporate HQ to another city you are just plain wrong. Who are your sources exactly and what are their roles or is this coming from someone in housekeeping? I have close relations with several people who work directly with the strategic planning for the Clinic and they confirmed there is not even a whisper of what you are spouting. It's no secret that the Clinic is expanding their position as a Global Healthcare organization and will continue to expand (even very large expansions/collaborations) here in the states and across the globe but there is no threat of them moving the HQ to another area, city, state or region, period. Also the clinic does not have any problems recruiting top talent to live and work in Cleveland or not any more than any other prestigious healthcare institution. It's maddening the amount of hearsay on these boards contributing to the crazy rumor mill.

Perhaps you need to reread, as the first sentence indicates "It wouldn't be the entire headquarters" as rumors that I had seen on here had indicated, but instead creating a "dual hub". 

This should be semi-public knowledge as it was mentioned and discussed at a Clinic finance event.   They even mentioned that most of the departments (departments that most people would associate with a headquarters) would be duplicated and that we would have first dibs on those positions.  Of course this is a ways down the road so who really knows. 

I'm simply stating that considering some of the reasons that were given, it has me a bit concerned and would/could certainly take emphasis off of Cleveland, where I would much rather see the growth of some of these functions as opposed to putting them somewhere else.

It's not hard to imagine Weston growing into a regional headquarters for Florida branch operations.  The Florida legislature and medical community are wary of the Mayo and Cleveland Clinics' operations putting the locals out of business; so a puffed up local headquarters might be a political necessity.

Yes similar to Mayo in Jacksonville, but Mayo is nearly 3 times the research $$$ as the Clinic.  The only thing that has me thinking that may not be the case is the mention of it potentially happening in "a market they are not currently in".

Not sure if we missed this,  if it was posted elsewhere or.. most likely it’s not news that Cleveland Clinic is one of the world’s best hospitals.

 

Side note: The three top hospitals in Ohio reside in Cleveland proper.  I wouldn’t be surprised to see Metro climb these lists over the next decade.  They already have one of the best level 1 trauma centers in the country.

Edited March 14, 20205 yr by Sapper Daddy

I've always suspected that having the Clinic brings top physicians from around the world, and while many stay there, many others also end up at other local hospitals eventually.  So it isn't surprising that we see UH also on the list, and wouldn't be surprising if Metro works its way up.

To put the Clinic's building practices into perspective, they have shut down most entrances and the few remaining have airport style temperature scanners looking for active corona cases. Once through the checkpoints you can move between buildings through the skyways.

It's been reported by the WSJ and the FT, that I'm aware of.  What tends to defuse the story is the fact that almost 100% of NIH-funded studies publish their results in copious detail, so the researcher might only be providing a preview to China of what would eventually be public information anyway. So, there's not really a "spy" aspect to the story.

 

Note: The NIH does patent some things (my wife get royalties from her NIH patent); but they still release all the details.

Citing construction delays due to Covid, Cleveland Clinic London will open in early 2022, instead of 2021.  They'll open an outpatient center in Fall 2021. 2021 is also the centennial for the Clinic.

Street Artist With Brain Cancer Paints Picture of Hope With New Therapy

 

This summer, street artist Jon Sedor has braved blistering heat to complete two colorful outdoor murals for Cleveland-area clients – one in Edgewater, on the banks of Lake Erie, and another in the Shaker Heights, Ohio, district of Van Aken.

 

When temperatures get really hot, he’ll briefly take off a device – which looks like a bathing cap – that is otherwise adhered onto his daily-shaved head for 18 or more hours every day. The 32-year-old Cleveland Heights resident, who is being treated for a form of malignant brain cancer called glioblastoma (GBM), is hopeful the device’s battery-powered electrodes will prolong his life.

 

“Usually, I don’t even notice I have it on,” says Jon, who is also finishing up a 12- by 25-foot indoor mural, at the Music Settlement community music school’s new campus in Ohio City. “But (the device) isn’t breathable, so sometimes I have to take it off, just for a while, when I’m painting in the sun.”
