Cleveland Clinic
The Arnold and Sydell Miller Family Pavilion
Cleveland, Ohio

This 953,000 SF 10-story structure was designed using various structural systems to better meet the needs of the Clinic. Structural steel, concrete flat slabs and concrete pan joist floor systems were used. Eight concrete cores and one concrete moment frame provide the lateral force resisting system for the building. An 8-story, 20 feet long wing, like a ‘sail’, was incorporated in the building design at the north-east corner. The building was founded on drilled shafts and grade beams. A mat slab was designed to protect the basement from water infiltration due to the high water table on site. An interstitial space was provided between the mat foundation and the slab on grade for the placement of the various utility lines.
