The Center for Health and Healing houses eight floors of outpatient medical practices, four floors of educational offices and research laboratories and a three-story wellness center. JHK installed the main risers for all services to each floor, valved and capped for connection by the tenant improvement contractor. This includes air handling units, chillers, boilers (steam and hot water heating), pumps, heat exchanges, medical gas manifolds, air compressors and vacuum pumps.

This project received LEED Platinum certification.
