Emory Healthcare is an academic medical system focused on research and innovation, and the largest healthcare system in Georgia.
With successful programs in Orthopedics, Brain Health, Medical Science Education, and Health Information Technology, Emory wanted to expand and better integrate these services to develop future innovative treatments and provide solutions for healthcare challenges facing its communities. To accomplish this, Emory wanted to combine multiple centers of excellence into a state-of-the-art Musculoskeletal Institute.
Hammes was engaged to provide project management and transition planning services for the new 180,000-SF Musculoskeletal Institute in Emory's Executive Park health innovation district. This project represented the first phase of a multi-phased development to integrate education, research, and innovation with health and wellness. Hammes supported master planning efforts for the institute's 65-acre campus to ensure the site was maximized for the additional planned development of more than 2 million square feet.
Emory's Musculoskeletal Institute, which opened in October 2021, combines several centers of excellence to provide advanced orthopedic and spine care with state-of-the-art clinical and research support space.
