Cleveland Clinic is expanding its Innovation District with two new research buildings totaling 290,000 square feet, marking a significant step in the health system’s ongoing investment in medical research and development. Construction is underway on the eastern and western research buildings, adding 170,000 and 120,000 square feet of space respectively, at the northeast corner of Cedar Avenue and East 100th Street.
The expansion builds on recent Cleveland Clinic growth, including the recently opened Cole Eye Institute expansion, and underscores the institution’s commitment to advancing pathogen and human health research. The new facilities, designed by Cleveland Clinic Buildings + Design with support from HOK Architects and vanderweil Engineers, and managed by Gilbane Building, will house specialty research facilities, core services, and the Global Center for Pathogen and Human Health Research.
