    The Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas, Nevada is a 60,000 square foot facility designed by architect Frank Gehry. It serves as a clinic, research center, and headquarters for the Keep Memory Alive foundation. The $80-100 million building uses Gehry's signature irregular style and includes event space to fund research into diseases like Alzheimer's and Huntington's. Its unique steel-framed design presented structural challenges that required individually designed connections to support the largely self-supporting structure.
