Oregon Health & Sciences University turned to Gerdling Edlen Development Company as a partner to assist them in the development of the OHSU Center for Health and Healing. Dean Papé managed all facets of the development process on behalf of Gerdling Edlen through construction and turnover to the client, OHSU Medical Group.
As one of the first two buildings located in Portland’s South Waterfront, the OHSU Center for Health and Healing was the first medical building developed to meet LEED Platinum standards and one of the largest LEED Platinum buildings in the nation. The 412,000 square-foot, 16-story building includes: medical office space, a surgical facility, an x-ray suite, educational center, conference facility, research labs, a gymnasium with full basketball court and two swimming pools, ground floor retail (café, optical sales, and pharmacy), and a 500 stall underground parking structure.
To reach LEED Platinum the project employed innovative design, construction, and implementation techniques. The building includes an on-site wastewater treatment facility that reclaims and processes 100 percent of the rainwater and wastewater for reuse in restrooms throughout the building. This system reduces the building’s potable water need by 56% compared to traditional systems, as well as reducing the amount of waste water sent to the City’s sewer system by 15,000 gallons each day.
The building also includes measures to reduce energy consumption and heating and cooling costs, such as sunshades that double as PV panels and a large-scale micro turbine plant. This plant uses a boiler system that produces the majority of the building’s hot water needs and supplies nearly 30% of the building’s power needs.
Throughout the construction process, a myriad of decisions were made with the goal of reducing the project’s carbon footprint, including the reduction of construction waste by more than 90% and sourcing locally harvested and manufactured products.
