The Indiana Hemophilia & Thrombosis Center selected Duke Realty to design and build their new medical office building located in Indianapolis. The 2-story, 36,000-sq. ft. medical office building consists of 9,000 sq. ft. of clinical space and 27,000 sq. ft. of office space.

The Indiana Hemophilia & Thrombosis Center (IHTC) is Indiana’s only federally recognized comprehensive hemophilia center and is noted as one of the largest centers in the country in terms of patients and medical staff. Duke Realty selected SME to provide Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx) services for the new facility.

SME performed a technical review of the proposed shop drawings and specifications to identify high risk areas in the building enclosure. The critical enclosure components included glass and glazing, brick, stone, zinc cladding and caulking. We met with the project team to review our recommendations and prioritize them against the budget constraints. The recommendations the project team decided to move forward with improved the longevity of the enclosure details.

During construction, SME reviewed Requests for Information (RFIs) and submittals and helped coordinate the work of trade contractors on the project. We also performed water testing to identify deficiencies and gaps in the building enclosure.
