History

The OHSU Center for Health & Healing was completed in 2006, designed by GBD Architects and constructed by Hoffman Construction.[3] It took 3 years to complete, with construction beginning in 2003, and cost a total of $140 million.[1][4] In February 2007, the building was granted LEED Platinum status, becoming the largest health care facility in the United States to earn LEED's highest rating.[2]

Details

Of the facility’s 16 floors, eight floors are dedicated to physician practice, surgery, and imaging; three floors house the March Wellness Fitness Center; four are home to education and research facilities; and the ground level contains an optical shop, a pharmacy, and a café.[1][5] The building is 61.58 m (202.0 ft) tall.[6]

gollark: This is good, as it gets you the loop-da-loop, which is totally sick.
gollark: Probably. I think it's required by some law or other, or at least they decided to interpret it that way.
gollark: It is apparently blocked as over-18 content, which makes a slight bit of sense because it could let you access some indirectly, but seriously why.
gollark: The wikipedia page for `The Underground History of American Education` seems to have archive.org links to some stuff, but naturally my mobile network blocks archive.org because that makes sense and is an entirely reasonable thing to do.
