Princeton Medical Arts Pavilion

The Princeton Medical Arts Pavilion on the campus of University

Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro was built simultaneously with

the University Medical Center of Princeton and connects to the Center
physically via corridors on the first and second floors. The medical office
building is five stories and is designed to house functional space for an
ambulatory center, diagnostics, radiology and offices for private
physicians.
The exterior wall system is composed of composite metal wall
panels, curtain wall and masonry. Although immediately adjacent to the
hospital, the 147,000 square foot facility does not share heating and
cooling services and is mechanically independent. The scope of work also
included specialized components such as the lead lined gypsum wall
boards in the radiology suite and radio frequency shielding in the MRI
room. The Pavilion is LEED certified.
To meet the needs of the health system, the building had to be
completed concurrently with the new replacement hospital which was

already under construction. TCC had to mobilize quickly, working with

the health system to design a state-of-the-art building to meet the current
and future needs of the Hospital. Princeton HealthCare System occupies
over half of the building square footage. The balance of the building is
occupied by private physician practices.
The Medical Arts Pavilion opened concurrently with the new
replacement hospital. Prior to groundbreaking, the building was over 70%
preleased to health system tenants and private physician groups. Physician
tenants have also participated in the ownership of the medical office
building.
