Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi

A dramatic 24-story waterfront medical center, Cleveland Clinic provides an imaging center, emergency and interventional services departments, intensive and acute care units, and an ambulatory clinic.  The project’s patient tower wing appears to “float” above the main building block, with 44.6-ft cantilevers and a 126-ft central clear span, while the patient bed wing cantilevers 110 ft out towards the shoreline—features made possible by a complex structural hybrid system balancing the most efficient functionality of the critical healthcare program with architectural expression.
