Expanding Healthcare Access: U-M Health Plans New Facility in Troy
Plans for a new clinical facility in Troy were shared by University of Michigan Health with the Board of Regents, who approved the project’s budget and additional land acquisitions on March 20. This initiative is set to enhance specialty clinical services and increase accessibility for patients in Oakland County and southeast Michigan.
The new facility, with a budget cap of $250 million, will occupy the former Kmart headquarters site. The project includes a 224,000-square-foot, four-story structure expected to open by spring 2027, designed to house various specialty services and a center for surgeries and procedures.
Following the regents’ approval, the schematic design of the building and the procurement of construction bids are underway.
University of Michigan Health had previously acquired a 7.28-acre parcel at the junction of West Big Beaver and Coolidge roads. Recently, the Regents authorized the purchase of two adjacent parcels on 3100 W. Big Beaver Road, totaling 4.08 acres, to enhance patient parking facilities.
“We are making progress on the Troy Center for Specialty Care, a major addition to our statewide network strategy of bringing our world-class care close to home,” said Marschall S. Runge, CEO of Michigan Medicine, dean of the Medical School, and executive vice president of medical affairs.
The facility, as part of the clinical division of Michigan Medicine, will feature an ambulatory surgery center, imaging services including CT, MRI, and mammography, an infusion suite, and a linear accelerator for cancer treatments. It will also house programs focusing on musculoskeletal/sports medicine, reproductive medicine, and cancer care.
“It is great to see the designs coming together for this facility, which will bring our nationally-renowned U-M Health expertise much closer to a large population of Michiganders who will no longer have to drive long distances to access the world-class care provided by our teams at Michigan Medicine,” commented David Miller, president of U-M Health.
Further U-M Health initiatives aimed at improving patient access include the 12-story D. Dan and Betty Kahn Health Care Pavilion in Ann Arbor, and the Ypsilanti Health Center, both slated for openings in 2025. “This is a great place for U-M Health to expand, in a prominent, easily accessible location in Troy. We are committed to bringing the care you can only find at U-M Health to the neighborhoods of more people all over the state of Michigan.”
