ABD Engineering & Design worked with NBBJ to help create the new Corewell Health Center for Transformation and Innovation (CTI). The North Monroe neighborhood corporate headquarters is home to thousands of office staff. It includes a 150,000 SF renovation and fit-out of the Brassworks Building, a new 200,000 SF administration building, and a new 30,000 SF learning center, with an on-site fitness center, game room, and large event space.
ABD’s acoustical engineering services included testing and evaluation of existing wall and floor/ceiling assemblies and spaces in the historic Wolverine Brass (Brassworks) building. Acoustical consulting in the new building and renovation include room acoustics, noise and impact isolation, mechanical noise and vibration isolation, and mechanical noise control.
The facility began its design as a traditional office building. The pandemic changed the way the health system will use their headquarters for hybrid/remote administration workers and distance-learning.
