S
UMMA HEALTH wanted a facility that better represented its level of care and
commitment to the Akron, Ohio, community. Over the decades, its campus
had accommodated multiple building expansions that obscured the original main entrance, making wayfinding challenging and creating a need to
reorganize the way patients experience the site. Additionally, the health
system sought to expand services in support of population health management. Together, these issues prompted the implementation of a full master
plan to look at where to expand on campus, increasing services and capacities, and ultimately providing a road map for future growth.
Starting in April 2016, the project team led by Hasenstab Architects (Akron) and Perspectus
Architecture (Cleveland) conducted interactive planning efforts with representatives from
Summa Health, including design charrettes, BIM walk-throughs, and a virtual reality experience
of proposed new operating rooms. Multiple considerations were evaluated including flexibility
and planning for future growth of both inpatient and outpatient facilities, campus access and
vehicular circulation, parking, and connectivity to newer parts of the hospital. This collaborative
process resulted in a vision for a new, prominent patient tower that symbolized a vibrant growing
health system by establishing a new design aesthetic that blends elements of the existing hospital
design with new materials and forms. Additionally, the building would provide a new front
entrance, add private patient rooms, create a new modern labor and delivery unit, consolidate
women's services for a new breast center, and expand surgical services.
The project broke ground in January 2017 and the seven-story, 343,000-square-foot patient
tower was completed in May 2019. The design aesthetic stems from two simple curved forms:
a concave-shaped base that invites vehicular and pedestrian traffic to the new main entrance
and a convex-shaped tower that acts as a beacon, symbolizing Summa Health's commitment
to the community. The base is composed of a glass curtain wall as well as terra-cotta masonry
that's used to link the new structure to the existing campus fabric. The seven-story tower rises
from the base in the juxtaposed curve and features a bold combination of gray metal panels
and an extensive use of glass.
