UConn facility designed for patient-centered care

Health center constructing state-of-the art, $203 million outpatient pavilion


The University of Connecticut Health Center is constructing a state-of-the art, $203 million outpatient pavilion, according to an article on the Hartford Business website.

The 300,000-square-foot facility will bring under one roof virtually all UConn's outpatient services, now spread out across the Farmington campus. The building's design and technology will also reshape the way physicians collaborate and practice medicine, the article said.

The building, and how specialties are grouped within it, is designed so that medical providers can offer the most efficient care in the least amount of space, said Tom Trutter, UConn Health's associate vice president for campus planning, design and construction. To eliminate silos, there are no walls between departments so a geriatrician could be practicing next to a primary care physician.

The new outpatient center is part of the state's $864 million Bioscience Connecticut initiative that also includes construction of a new patient tower at John Dempsey Hospital and renovations to 238,000 square feet of existing UConn Health Center research facilities. Additionally, 28,000 square feet of incubator space is being built for startups.
