Metal building used for physicians practices

A group of physician investors formed Asplane LLC to acquire and develop a commercial property anchored by a medical office building in Marion, Ind., to house their pediatric and obstetrics/gynecology practices. In addition to the medical offices, the site is large enough for a restaurant and retail projects, such as maternity shops and a children’s clothing store, where mother’s can browse while awaiting their appointments.

 

The design-build project led by Felderman Design Build, Fort Wayne, Ind., demonstrates the potential for systems construction to be applied to image-conscious office facilities. Butler Manufacturing Co., Kansas City, Mo., supplied two Widespan structures for the opposing wings that were combined with conventional framing to create the center tower. Butler’s MR-24 standing-seam metal roof system was used on the wings, while the CMR-24 roof system was used on the tower and atrium core. The walls consist of cultured brick and stone in conjunction with EIFS over block.

The 18,860-square-foot (1,752-m2) building has a 30- by 30-foot (9- by 9-m) basement mechanical room, 22 exam rooms, a coffee bar and lab. Additional space in the center atrium is for a pharmacy and personal services business. The building was completed earlier this year following a six-month construction schedule.
