Transforming Desert Landscape into Health Future Center

Coming together under the Arizona sun, DPR Construction recently joined Arizona State University, leaders from Mayo Clinic and community leaders to celebrate the groundbreaking of ASU’s Health Future Center. With completion scheduled for October 2020, this greenfield project represents another step toward the future of healthcare in Phoenix.

HFC will be a 150,000-square-foot, three-story ground-up medical learning facility adjacent to the Mayo Clinic. The new facility will provide the surrounding communities with new technology including a med-tech innovation accelerator, biomedical engineering and informatics research labs and an education zone. In addition, it will provide a new, innovative nursing program model where students are taught to treat patients through a whole health model. Based on the strength of a decade-long relationship with ASU, DPR was chosen to kick off the development and construction of the first building on this breakthrough campus.

HFC will be the blending point between Mayo Clinic and Arizona State University Alliance for Health Care, a team brought together with the goal of transforming medical education and healthcare in the U.S.

Determined to deliver ASU’s vision for the new medical facility, DPR’s preconstruction team collaborated with the design team to better deliver accurate estimates of each program type (user group of the space) and its components (value of materials) during early design stages. This level of precision accurately identifies where the budget is being allocated at any given stage of design providing real-time information and the opportunity to make key decisions for the project earlier.
