PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Memorial Hermann MOB - Humble was part of a larger program that Memorial Hermann Hospital System selected Powers Brown Architecture to develop the design for their MOB’s utilizing our well-known Value Office product line. The goal was to create similar buildings to Memorial Hermann’s existing conventionally constructed MOB’s on their many campuses while reducing rent structure by competing with conventional market-based office pricing. In fact, the product was so successful for Memorial Hermann in reducing costs that the initial plan for three buildings quickly evolved into five.
The Humble MOB was constructed on an existing, high traffic campus which already included a large hospital and other MOBs. The challenges presented with exploring options for routing construction traffic along with campus visitors was solved through a series of planning exercises involving campus officials, Memorial Hermann administrators, and the General Contractor, to ensure that hospital users, as well as ambulance traffic, was virtually uninterrupted during construction.
